Omg! That’s amazing! Thanks so much for looking!!

Well just take the while lot, or whatever is easiest for you. Let me know how to pay you and we (the missus!) will get it sorted!

Thanks so much again, absolute life saver!

Ah that's good to know! Nice to know there's a planB if needed!

Thanks, the effort is very much appreciated!

Yeah, just been and looked and there is a sizeable crack that I'm sure wasn't there on the day of the 'the incident'. Might not have looked very hard though, pretending it's not happening. Appreciate your effort in looking, doesn't seem to be any around on eBay - but only when you can face moving ...

Its the whole hanger bit I’m afraid, but thanks for looking though, much appreciated. I’ll check if the brake lever itself is bent later though, it might well be.

Might try bending the hanger back into shape but worried it’ll break leaving me with no VTR to ride which wouldn’t be a good thing.

After a very distressing incident involving balancing the bike upright, then turning to wave to the missus and daughter who just arrived back in the car and letting go of the bike, I've found myself in need of a new right hand footrest hanger, the back brake side. It's still there but quite bent ...

Fitted the 6mm spacer under the rear shock and the forks are still unimproved and rubbish, so that'll be exciting. Also I think I've 'fixed' (or improved considerably) a long standing problem that's been a little disconcerting at times. At speed the front brakes would pulse, a bit like a warped disk ...

Did you replace the filter like for like ?, sounds like you need to go back to how it was then to get it spot in go to a rolling road carb specialist to get the bike properly set up Couldn't see a brand on the outgoing filter (actually, might go and dig it out of the wheelie bin), but looked the ...

So, up early for a run to the coast before it gets too busy, but it was not running right at all. OK at very small throttle openings (i.e. through the village), but stuttering in a big way on anything more than tickling the throttle. No idea if it's either related to the taped up airbag intake or ...

Thanks - ripped off and discarded onto the driveway with distain. Must go and find it and put it in the bin before I get in trouble

Makes you wonder what other shenanigans have been going on with it.

Thought I'd change the air filter today (not had bike long). Found half of the intake snorkel gaffa taped over. Never seen this before, or heard of it being done, but was obviously done for a reason. Any ideas why? (FWIW the airbox lid had 2 stickers - Dynojet and the K&N filter warning one which ...

That's useful to know - I was doubtful about hearing anything above the din of the unbaffled Quills and the wind noise. I have to wear earplugs - well I prefer to so I don't keep listening to mechanical noises and worrying - a habit from the Guzzi 8O Might be best for me to check out mounting the ...

Sound like the timings is out, bogging down at 5-7000 classic symtoms... Runs fine at lower revs but when it gets up in the rev range cant get enough air in to feed both cylinders at once... Yep, that's an ominously good description! I'd reset the timing & fit a set of manuals for you North Kent ...

What do people normally do? I always wear earplugs (a habit from the Guzzi so I don't hear all the rattles). But it would be rather nice to have sat nav instructions.

Some sort of special helmet headphones stuck in helmet? Earbud type? No idea so any experiences would be good to hear.

This might be a bit of an unusual problem for Storms, but I think I have a bit of a cam chain rattle [1] It's not running great and feels reluctant to rev out - great low down but goes a bit less rewarding after 4-5kRPM or so. I have no confidence at all in replacing them myself, plus I don't have a ...
