Thanks for the radiator pic's. :thumbup:

As for the exhaust, I know little about it, I Just saw it on EBay :thumbup:

This might be it, or might not :think:

I really like that single radiator. It makes the bike look so much cleaner. I really like the look of the Storm engine and it is a shame that it is hidden behind so much stuff.

not keen on the original rads on the side when it's converted.
Me neither. It's good to see that someone has taken the time to convert to a naked properly. :thumbup:

Welcome to the forum. :beer:

It's worth doing. It handles it well never had a problem with overheating in Inner city riding or long spells. Seems happy with the sv rad

Welcome! And nice to see a VTR without fairings with a proper radiator. Too many people leave the ugly side mounted ones on after removing the fairing imo.

But it snowed last night! lol My bike is off the road for some winter work at the moment but when its back together (and the snow clears) I will take you up on that. :thumbup: There are a few Northern stormers on this site so maybe we could get a small posse together.

And have a look on the "Sunday Runs, Rideouts, Track days, Rally, Events" pages

the members here are pretty active in getting runs out organised and there is a lot going on next season.

Bit of cold never harmed! A posse of storms I normally get bad looks riding through villages by myself let alone a group of us! Be like a thunderstorm. Will be good. I'll keep an eye out for rides cheers bud
