Thanks Lee, Most noticeable difference was on the front, but once I put the rear on, it took a while to get used to, because the rear as standard is fairly hard, and the Hyperpro not so, but now I'm used to it I like it.

maybe hunt down a carbon fibre hugger, or get the large black sticker kit for it.....
Thanks, Yes on the look out for a nice carbon hugger. I've got a hrc sticker kit left over from one of my fireblades may look at adding that on belly pan, to brake it up a little.

Very nice bike. I don't care for the rim tape on the chrome rims. I too own a yellow, and used rim tape, however, my rims are black.

I always thought it strange polished rims with rim tape, last owners taste, I just left it like it, polished rims are nice, just a pain in the ass to keep clean, they forever need polishing.

No rim tape on mine at the moment since I fitted the powder coated six spoke wheels a while back, but when I do have some on it's reflective, to help being seen at night.

Yes, very yellow. the previous 5 storms were the wrong colour
I just get bored very quickly, since passing my bike test in 98, I've had something like 40 bikes in the last 15 years. Must of had every sports bike on the market, R1's, gsxr1000's, cbr1000rr, zx10r etc, still love the storm though, always come back and get another one, excellent value for money.
