Hi, just thought I'd say a quick hello. I have been viewing this site for a few months now and have to say that everyone seems really friendly and are up for a bit of a giggle. I look forward to being a regular contribitor.

I have had my ' Storm for around 2 years now and to be honest it has only been the last 2 months or so that I have really began to enjoy it :oops: This only because I was unsure of riding a twin - it just didn't seem fun after my previous Kwacka ZX6R - but now the penny has seemed to drop and I just love the effortless torque and power - I would just like a little more now lol.

My bike is an 03 and on a private plate. I bought it with only 2500 miles on it and it has covered 4500 only now, so it's not really run in yet lol. It has quite a few cosmetic mods that both myself and the previous owner ( my brother in law ) have fitted. Braided front and rear brake lines, chrome powdercoated wheels, light tinted double bubble screen, uprated headlight, LED indicators, idiot light ( gear display ), LED rear light - this was a one off, and full carbon lower fairing - again, a complete one off. A recent purchase of a pair of Remus race cans to deafen everyone is the one mod I am still unsure of though. And most importantly it is in the best colour - blue :D I am waiting for the reaction lol. I will of course try and post some pics though I am sure I will need some help doing this as I'm a complete PC numpty.

:twisted:

Welcome mate, I'm hoping you're lucky and it's proper blue, like mine :wink:

Hi matey, welcome to the forum.

Love the signature :lol:

At least it's not Teal!

As for the pipes - they need a good set of loud cans - the OEM ones stifle the engine.

Sounds like some good mods, especially like the sound of the fairing lowers in carbon.

I agree, the bike does seem to have a bit more power with the Remus cans, not sure how much more , prob about another 5 / 6 bhp I suppose. I am sure the bike revs harder.
