How much another £500 and one could buy a cheap SP

Yep its nice but a USD front end and a lower fairing would make it

way to expensive imho, very nice bike tho, for that money i'd be wanting a blade front end or at least upgraded brakes. I also think the rear indi's are circa 1975.....
I will say it's one of the nicer sssa conversions, some of them look awful, but this one looks spot on...

[sirch345]

I agree very nice
It reminds me of Brian Lights(sp) bike, rumoured to be the very first bike to have the SSSarm conversion, although his bike only had one can on the lefthand side of the bike so you could get full view of the swingarm.

I wonder what insurance companies add on if you tell them the bike has a SSSarm conversion

I doubt most companies would insure it and if the did, it would extortionate. I think when it comes to that sort of modification one needs to go to a specialist insurance company that deals with custom bikes. It certainly would not be as cheap as a standard VTR.

Unfortunately I was thinking something along those lines myself Carl. Is there any member on here who has actually insured their SSSarm Firestorm, out of interest if there is I'd be interested to hear how you got on,

Chris.

I'd hope so Chris as there is a few out there

I would have thought the same Lloydie, it would be good to hear from a fellow member who has It will all depend if they read this I guess,

Chris.

Are you seriously considering going down the SSSA route then Chris. That would be some serous modding for your Storm. I have vibed you like the style.

Might be cheaper to insure if you brought a vfr800 and wedge a vtr motor in to it :-)

No I'm not thinking about doing a SSSarm conversion to my bike, just interested to hear what insurance companies make of it,

Chris.

just don't paint it green

whats the big deal with a sssa again?. I thought the most important thing about swingarms (along with lightness) is stiffness/strength .

is a single side as rigid as a braced one like jamies? ?

I think the bike for sale is a bit pricey.

[lloydie]

No don't paint it anything other than a standard colour as this paint job has cost me x3 now :-( .
The sssa is just for looks nothing more

There's got to be something right with sssa.. the new KTM super Duke (or whatever, the 1290cc beast) has a sssa and that makes something like 180bhp and 105ft/lb torque
