Unfortunately, my wrists and neck are getting worse, so I'll be selling off my bikes with low bars in the Spring
So, if anyone here would like an excellent condition, low mileage, fully sorted Storm, send me a message.
I'll be advertising the bike widely in Spring, but thought I'd give members here a chance to buy in advance at a lower price of £2000 (no offers).
I'll add to the For Sale section later.

The tyres are almost un-used Michelin PR3 tyres, but were fitted in Dec 2015 by previous owner before he laid the bike up. No cracks or hardening, and 'feel' fine to me, although I was going to upgrade them to PR6s before next Summer if I was keeping the bike.
Bike will come with following spares:
Supersprox Stealth 42T rear sprocket, new never fitted as OEM sprocket is still perfect.
The standard exhaust cans in excellent condition
Standard front brake master cylinder and lever in excellent working condition.
OEM CCTs which were working perfectly, and only changed as a precaution.
Spare OEM vacuum fuel tap from Mac (not tested).
Original seat fitting hooks.
Original clutch lever.
Original progressive fork springs.
Original fork protectors
Spare OEM flasher relay (wasn't needed once the switch was cleaned out)
New #48 pilot jets...discovered carbs already had #48s fitted.
Any interest or questions, message or post here
Cheers,
