Where did you get the fronts from dude????

Where else but the bay... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/320515322870? ... 1497.l2649 UK seller. No cutting or any holes to be made. Simple remove old ones and replace with these. The have a big white plastic nut with built in plastic washer. Just tighten up by hand and attach wires, which have more than enough length.

Those stacks look nice Kev, I like the allen bolts I think they should be classed as hidden bling.

Today I finally got my exhausts on the bike and running, fookinn hell, they sound lovely. And they are loud with no baffles. They remind me of the sound of Mac's Harris cans and sort of a cross with Marty's though I don't think they are quite s loud as Marty's

Sorry no pics yet, went for a blast The bike and myself are much happier with these exhausts and shall get along nicely. The bike is a lot smoother, I'm not sure I need re-jet with these. Everything just seems a whole lot smoother. There was a point when I thought I may have to put the baffles in (this is too loud) and I'm asking for a tug. But then I thought better of it.
By the time I got back it was too dark to take pics and video for sound. So shall sort it out tomorrow now.

I am well happy, they look and sound wombles wickedl.

Have Fun

If this statement was to be true, which of course is quite plainly isn't.

BSM is the mother.

Now there's a thought

I didn't realise it was any different Lloydie? Interesting. Does the later Storm have different plumbing in the airbox to the early versions? Not having looked inside the early one it would be good to know whether this is where the changes were made which give the alleged reduction in BHP.

heres mine, theres seems to be a gromet there, does the hole in your airbox look original kev or has it drilled????????

There should be no holes in the airbox except for the intake hole and the stacks feeding the carbs.

Plug it up.

Will my K&n work in my bike till i fit my jet kit ive got one from a member it came today ive just cleaned it up and i had some k&n cleaner and oil ,

Or will it run funny

It depends on the exhaust you have. With the Microns and K&N mine run lumpy and had flat spots. Now I have put the Arata's on it's changed the whole feel. Runs so much more smoother. And apparently with Scorpians there is no need to re jet. I would say keep the old filter, but give the K&N a go, it wont harm, see how she runs/feels. And if you or the bike don't like it, stick the old one back in.
Haven't you got a tall stack to put in as well? Give the filter a go with and without it and note the differences between the options.
I'm actually starting to think I may not require a jet kit now, but shall probably get round to it one day just so I now everything is tuned properly and precisely but that's not a priority now.

Have Fun
