Y'know....I've had another think about this. I'd STILL stick with the 1st mod being a set of tyres though. But, I'm really hard pushed to think of anything else I'd do to the VTR (if I collected it out of the showroom with 0 miles on it). Even if I knew other owners that had Storms before I bought m...

First thing I'd do with a brand new storm is put decent tyres on it.

I'm a bit confused here...the holes you refer to are for a metal plate which is attached to the back of the chain cover plate. In my opinion, if something has been put there, it has been put there for a reason. Afternoon Kev. Sorry I kinda confussed you. I DO have the metal chain plate (that sits o...

Well I had two assessment drives today....Got one more assessment drive next Wednesday...Real excited now :-) Superb. Yer getting closer each time, and I wish you the best of luck with everything. Sending good Mojo your way! :thumbup: Looking forward to you trunking up North. Then I will know someo...

I guess the rubber on the sprocket cover acts as a sound dampener cutting a couple of decibels when on the move... in your wild open spaces I'd say not to worry if it's AWOL. Thanks for another confirmation Wicky. At least it's not a mechanical necessity. There may be folk out there into saving wei...

You don't need either. The rubber just dampens the chain sound, and the gaskit is pointless Ahh - Ok then. Many thanks for that Meester Lloydie. The cans are loud enough to hide any sound from the rear sprocket, and the engine rattles/clunkjs/whirrs and other weird noises hides any noise from the f...

Where's the follow up photo, when the chair tipped all the way back, and you are in a heap on the floor making a hell-of-a-racket, with the Nurse coming in asking what the hell are you playing at? :lol: :lol: :lol: A hooligan on the road, and a liability in the Hospital! WELL DONE THAT MAN! :lol: :t...

How do. Was down on me knees again, still on Operation: Scrape the feching salt off me bike'' . Now: I've previously removed me sprocket cover Christ knows how many times for the regular degrease of chain lube and road grit...clean inside clutch slave, coppa slip everything and put it all back nice ...

heres them before the final autosol and cloth clean... http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii41/fabiostar/Mobile%20Uploads/2017-01/20170125_194447_zpsbujqsjx3.jpg Luverly. Yer patience has paid off. :thumbup: I'd again, love mine to get like that. If yer ever passing through this neck of the woods.....

the plastic guards that fit on the top of the fork lowers are still sitting there...I wanted them back on...but I am a lazy git so I cut through the back of the guards, then used a cable tie to tighten them back up :Thumb Down: I'm going to start tutting... TUT TUT There. A pair of big tuts for you...

Ahh yes. Another year older. But did the ''another year wiser'' come with it?

...lastly will be to clean the headers the best I can without removing them, as I really don't believe they can be removed without the studs snapping. That's my thoughts as well. Polish by hand for now. I'd love to take the headers off and get the polishing mops on to get a proper shiny job, and th...

spent 3 hours buffing and cleaning two sets of storm down pipes How did you do them? By hand with a wrapped cloth and Autosol (using the push-pull method), or didja do them by power tool thingy and a mop? Here's the push pull method....

Is that as in Vidal Sassy Soon?

''Kylie Sassie Soon'' is a weird name.
