Blade Hunter ......

Post by VeetyR »

Well , i have now got my storm back complete with rogered forks.

I havent ridden it for 4 months and its faster than i remember( been on a few gutless 600's in the interim ).

The real difference however is the uprated front end. I said in a previous post that i would let ya'll know what i thought once i had the forks done by roger and the verdict is as follows.

Rob, cheat and steal to get the money to have this done!!!! My god it has changed the bike soooo much i dont know where to begin.

Gone are the judders and clumps through the bars when braking heavily on bumpy roads. No more backing off when "making progress" through changable bends. The bike tracks like its on rails and just soaks up bumps and imperfections in the road surface like they are not there. To say its confidence inspiring is an understatement. If you havent got it done, go get it done. Its like trading up for a new completely different machine and i am sure it is now how Mr Honda intended it to be.

Find a blade in the distance, gobble the tarmac and hunt it down, corner as well as it then destroy, DEStroy, DESTROY on a wave of v-twin thump. Fantastic.

I considered trading before this for a better handling machine. I am glad i didnt now as what i have got is a bike that is not as common as your usual CBgiX9R and a true weapon of road war all for £220. Fantastico!!!!
