Project starts!

Post by Billinjah »

Picked up my storm a few weeks back. My dad had one back in the 90's when I had abstring of ducatis when I camme to buy a bike for the summer this year I thought I'd try a storm must say I'm impressed. I've done SS lines and a k&n. Cosmetically anbloody good clean an some oval indicators out back. Manual ccts will be ordered as soon as someone has them in stock! She will be repainted as soon as my brother can fit it in. Oh and fot a set of remus high levels to fit too. Quick pic of her on the journey home when i bought her.

Think I've decided on a colour scheme gulf racing on French racing blue with orange wheels to match the gulf decals. Always wanted to do a car in this scheme but I've seen a bike in the colours and it looked amazing!

Yeah saw the sp1 bit different to my plans but I booked it in for a months time so should be ready for summer proper! Quick bit of laminex I had left over from my track car on the running light.

Just ordered the all in one led rear light. A few led bulbs for around the bike. Still trying to decide on a belly pan/ fairing lowers like the shark skins lowers but import will make them expensive!
