Seem to be bolting half ebay to my Storm. Today it was a CBR125 R/R, shiny new Givi side arms, bargain Maxia top box and plate from some nutter with a packaging fetish and a £30 camera - you can just see the mount on the mirror.

Mudguard Make Biggerer next and the hunt for a cowl continues.

Had a quick ride for an hour before work and popped in on Rivington Barn Motorcycles to book the bike in for MOT

She does look well doesn't she :)

Also asked Jullian at RBM to have a look at my suspension set up as doing some fast roads the other day it was literally trying to bounce me all over the wombles place and off life if the road wasn't billiard table smooth

Julian got on it and within 10 seconds said yes its not right at all that, rebound on the forks is well off that why its jumping about as its coming up so fast

in for MOT tomorrow so will ask him for recommendations to get on with before i run it upto Kais

Bought mine some shiny new high comp pistons.
All I need now are the new rings, and a fine hone.

Anyone got a fine home I can use as a glaze buster?

And a few big end bolts, but they're only a couple of pounds each, and a head gasket, and , and, and.....
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
