you noticed that then ....only by about 2 inch to just lower the front wheel into the fairing for a more aggressive look, have to be careful not to lower it too much as it starts hitting the top of the mudguard, i hardened the forks a little bit and this resolved that. seems to handle better in the corners now as well as on them roundabouts whilst popping my knee down, so a good little adjustment all round

"only by about 2 inch" lmfao ONLY?!?!?!?!

Looks good that mate, thumbs up

Was it hard to Fit? i would love a more newer looking digital speedo

is your bike a newer model storm? would this work with the pre-19ltr models?

mines a 98 model mate......its not too complicated to wire in if you mark up wires before hand on both the wiring loom and the digi dials, the hardest bit i found was programming in the wheel dimensions in to get the right speed reading. the plate underneath was made by me.... used a bit of cardboard to mark out a shape then transfer this to a bit of alloy plate and got the grinder out, bit of black spray paint, bolt down the digi to that plate job done only took an afternoon to do the lot.

You are only the second person I know of who has dropped the front end by so much. If it works for you then that's what matters

Chris.

dropped the forks on mine by 1" and it was vile to ride.
