Bike with SSS

[bigtwinthing]

Hi my mate Steve, wants a twin with a SSS arm. But not a Ducati, does anyone know of anyone who has a Storm for sale with one on? Condition of bike it not important as he is a sprayer etc.

unfinished project not to far from you, needs a bit doing to it, but it's got the makings of a very special bike....http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Honda-Firesto ... 1398899370

Thanks Marty he has seen that.He wants something thats running at the moment though. i have just acquired aCB1000f for me and the missus but its got terribly paint etc and panels all cracked. He may use that but after a Storm on the road if he can. Thanks though. Have you seen the 3 baglux bags on the Bay?

i like that but not the butt end

tbh all the hard works been done, i'd consider it an option, find a set of farings and tank and make it look standardish again, much harder to take a standard bike and fit a sssa, than the other way round.

would,nt that be a hell of a lot of work getting a storm engine into a vfr frame ? if that's what it is?

any use to your mate btt?

Still a VTR frame just a grafted on Viffer SSS. Just badly described. Could be salvagable into a fun summer toy with some time & TLC and the vinyl decals stripping off esp on the tail.

so the only viffer bit is the swingarm ??

badly described indeed !

if you can live with the black metal work, you'd need the following to return the bodywork to standard...
full fairing and tank
screen
headlight
front subframe
clocks
possible wiring loom
rear subframe
undertray
seat
rear fairing
rear light
mirrors
indicators
i'd also sort out the drilled rear set chain guards.....yuck.
can't think of anything else.
you can always sell the tank and bodywork to another streetfighter wannabee.
so it's a far bit of work, but you'd be left with a very special bike. and sorting all the issues to convert a standard storm into a sssa bike is hard work, rear header need sorting, drilling the frame to move the rear shock, custom made rear shock linkages, rear brake lines, not to mention finding all the sssa parts.

I've told him to get a tuono a falco or a storm. he can't see the sssa when he is on it anyway.

how deep are your friends pockets..........http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HONDA-VTR-FIR ... 1801718713
I very special storm indeed, maybe a tad over priced, but it's got ohlins, harris rearsets, sssa, high level exhausts, fairing lowers, plus most of the parts to return it to standard if required.
low mileage as well.....

WoW thanks Marty, i would have that. Needs white wheels and a set of rentals though. My mates heard of someone who would do the SSSA mod for him for £500, and he would supply the bits. If aim honest i would get mine done for £500 if i could. The nob bought an R1 today. Its lovely though 2001 with FSH, mint and £1850. He will only fall off it though.
