Not the best as it come from my phone

Black & silver scheme works well, the bike looks good

You say you are going to fit a new m/c for the front brakes, as a suggestion you should have a read at the thread I started on caliper upgrades [in workshop section, and Wicky just linked it for another question today].
A bigger diam m/c will give you a stiffer lever feel, but less braking power, as the leverage ratio has gone down. I quoted a section from a PB article where they tested various configuration and compared the data logger vs which the rider thought was the best brakes. the rider thought he had better brakes with the bigger m/c, but the braking distance was longer!!!!

best mod for the storm is to fit calipers with bigger piston area, and a master cyl to match.....I used CBR600 parts, and can say it is a great improvement

I have been thinking for awhile to upgrade the brakes to the cbr one's but not a great fan of the m/c it comes with (SQ bulky one?)
I would like to fit some later radial brakes but then if i do that i would do a front end swap for the cbr one.
At the moment it's not top of the list but things to come.

As for the paint well mine has got some marks on it and a scratch on the side of the tank
Makes me pissed off
