cheers mate , im happy with it needs a few wee bits tidying up ,will have to drop the fork n reroute the throttle cable as its reving when on right lock but its going phastasphuk right now , keep getting blown back to seat hump (thank god its there)

Well done mate, only needs some blue paint to A)make it quicker, B)make it look better, & C)because if I missed an opportunity to wind someone up I wouldn't sleep well!!

6" blade rear wheel
how did you go about doing the conversion do tell .
and how much lighter is it ?

good job matey
i do like the twin headlight, like lloydie said, how did you get the blade rear wheel to fit, i looked into it, but it looked like it was gonna be a nightmare....

+1 on the wheel i didnt think the 954 would work so i sold it

and yes the 954 rear is a lot lighter as is the front

hi guys , the rear wheel was a bit of a mistake actually , i had it all cleaned and painted because it looked like it may fit but
as you all know it dont!, anyhoo before that i took the bike to my local mech , i had no means to get the swinger off and hold the bike up (should have bought the kit from abba) so while it was there i asked him to see about getting the wheel on , went back with the swinger and left him to it ,went back later in the week and he was waiting on spacers or bearings or both !! anyway end of week and it was on ,, so nowt to do with me , if he'd said it wont fit i'd have said fairnuff and turned away , pretty sure its just spacers tho , as i did this yrs back on my old zx10 to put the zzr11 rear wheel in ,
next time i take the wheel off i will measure the spacers...........

That would be good and can you measure the spindle to please

should have bought the kit from abba

No you shouldn't have as the swingarm kit they sell don't work with the storm. Just ask Kev

The thing to do is adapt the stand to jack up off the engine castle nut mount thing majig.

sorry about the blue parts showing mate, if you still have your old ones, send them to me, i'll respray them satin black anr re wrap them for you.

have changed the bars since these photo's and put the blade bars i got of seb on , which are a lot lower and narrower and more to my liking , still a good few bits to do tho but at least she is handling like she should now
