The one I won't sell

Post by StormyRob »

Recently picked up a storm from Uk13iker

Decent solid storm and looked after. Great value for money and came with a lightened flywheel and full akrapovic system.

Unfortunately I have a touch of OCD so a broken fairing means all the fairings are being replaced. Managed to source a set in good condition and thdy should be with me in a week or so.

Have a riser kit on the way also.
Bought CBR 600RR calipers for her and also a radial blade MC. Should go nicely with the braided lines and Armstrong discs. Just need to source an ASV to match the clutch

Got a nitron shock in very good condition from our very own amcq

Some mwf rearsets which I am having anodised black before fitting but they look good.

Found a seat cover to match the fairings. Some find them tack. I don't and that's what matters 😏

I think that will probably do until next year. Just hoping to have it all done before Op Storm NI next month and certainly before Op Storm Scotland in August.

Glad to be back on a storm

Seat covers are quite useful after a curry and several beers. Make sure it's washable. :beer: :beer: :( :oops: :Toilet1:

Looking forward to seeing it in NI if I have a job pinned down by then.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

My new ride is a bit of a Howler and I love to make her Squeal

It's riding season. RIDE THE FEKIN THING.
Upgrade her over the shitty winter. Essential changes only required: tyres, fluids and pads. And petrol, lots and lots of petrol...... :D

It was a lovely bike going for a very good price. Glad it went to a good home!

Did I sell you an ASV lever some time ago? If so it has returned to me through this bike 😂
