Straight Bar Conversions

Post by Tam Cunningham »

Do you know anyone who has, or perhaps you've done a straight bar conversion on a Storm?

Just curious to see how it would look with the straight bars and "dominator" style lights up front.......

keen on this too.

If not to much trouble, maybe a few of you guys who have done different options could fire up a pic or too?

Will be doing quite alot of 2 up riding and find quite alot of weight bearing on my wrists as both of us are leaning forward :)

So easiest (prob most expensive) route would be the likes if the full kit from these guys and the handlebars at about 30 pound.
