Re: Possible Turbo Storm
ha ha yes. if you look closely you will see the front wheel is held in with a long masonry drill bit. I was hoping the firestorm wheel would fit the blade forks but sadly not. I needed a wheel in place to lift it off the deck so just bunged the storm wheel in. I need to get one sorted but they are so bloody expensive even for second hand ones. I like the look of the older 16 inch blade wheels which are much cheaper but not sure if that would fit so got to save up the £180-220 ish for a 17 inch one.

No the early blade wheels won't fit .
Tho the 929/954 and 2004-2007 and sp1 wheel will if you have the 929/954 forks and yoke

It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Re: Possible Turbo Storm
Turbo plan is still there. Been taking to a few people about sorting the exhaust for it. As I've tinkered a fair bit with the engine I'm more concerned about testing it's still going to run ok then will look at the turbo.
