Washed Custurd, cleaned, adjusted & lubed the chain...

Stood & ponderd about what needs to be done to several other Storms...

Put the bikes back in the Cave & shut the door...

Got some time off over the next week so the pondering can be put into action...Maybe...perhaps...possibly... :crazy:
Making up since 2007, sometimes it's true...Honest...

Put the new exhausts on and they look great plus saving a few kg. Cut off the under tray.

The best bit was meeting up with Kev to talk bikes and buy his ally race fairing support.

I've found some very old tank grip pads called Stompgrips but the adhesive has turned to a oil. I'm going to have to clean off all the oil like liquid and stick it on with something else. I was thinking a very thin layer of silicone adhesive? Or perhaps evostick? Anyone have any ideas what best to use? For the time being this will be stuck directly on to the tank.

Thanks chaps.

3M double sided tape works fairly well.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
