Been out this morning and decided that there was just to many people pulling out on me so went home and gave it a bit of a clean. Only a few changes fitted the rear pegs which i think will be coming off again lol re designed the headlight using a differant led strip and moved the plate. Think it will be staying like this for a while now as i have got a craving for an sp1/2 so might be looking at a change this year.

excellent work there matey! bike looks fantastic now if i ever decided goin back to a storm from my sp, yours would be first port of call!

If it was me I would not be changing it for an SP1/2. You've got something very tasty and unique there Steve

Chris.

Cheers fellas

If i do sell i will put it for sale on here first and give Marra first dibs then lol

I know what you mean Chris it does get some looks if i do decide to keep it i am thinking of going all out with a single sider and a tasty front end then do what everybody says cannot be done an sp engine. I know it would be cheaper to buy an sp but anyone can do that and thats not what im about lol

very nice bike you got there mate, what is the rear end off of?

Looks ace that does Steve

Hmmmnnn, can see what you're saying Chris...Have you ridden a SP? If you were up Yorkshire way I'd let you see what all the fuss is about

know exactly what you mean - i have days like that when people see me but still randomly go for it - even in my works car, which is MASSIVE lol!
Why is that? i can understand in happy hour but some days it's just not worth it like you say.

very nice machine you have there m8 - also would like to know what that seat unit is off - looks very nice but would look better on mine...

Seat unit is 05 R1. Bugger to fit too lol

JB,
You're going to let me have a ride on your SP

Chris.

i want a go on it as well - i want to see if it handles any better over potholes than the storm, and also test out your bobbins, see if they are any good

I've never liked seat conversions as i never found an example where the lines flow. I always end up thinking why has someone plonked the wrong rear on their bike. but. That looks awesome, really nice job.

was it a particular struggle getting the seat to fit? The cans look like they would probably take a bit of work too. But man what a result

Lovely bike mate, have you ever had a pillion on there? That I would love to see!!!

that's a good excuse for only bagging ladies with really long legs and a really pert butt.

the type of legs what reach all the way down to the ground and all the way up the maker's nameplate
the type of legs you can wrap round your neck & tie in a bow - without getting soup on your chin
