Got one, never tried it on a Storm engine; how are you going to see it on wot runs?
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Mirror extension.... silly. :lol: :lol:

Great idea to help with setting mixture at idle/low revs but realistically it would be a nightmare. Not only are you going to have issues with access, getting it in place, set up and being able to reach deep down into the cam cover/cylinder head into the plug hole. But how are you going to adjust the fuel mixture screws and view the little mirror at the same time and see the colour of the burn. I guess you could adjust view, adjust view etc but it's a lot of faffing about.

It was just a thought, thumb screws I have might make it easy for low range, midrange I have adjustable needles.
These bikes will run pretty much any settings without any major noticeable performance loss.
I was (and still am) thinking, for 25 quid it would be cheaper than doing a couple of
Dyno runs, as making changes and test runs is inconclusive.
I suppose plug chops are the cheapest solution.
I just wondered if anyone had used one of these
