Looking nice Seb, even with the lines on the tank. What are you doing to the wheels? Paint or Powder coat?

Thanks chaps, not sure on the paint, sick of throwing money away, I love the storm but cant keep throwing money that will never be recouped back sorta thing.
He's just come back now from being off and this Wednesday was the first time I've taken the storm to work in ages, been on the blade good few month.
will get him to have a look on Monday and see what he says, those companies wasn't interested in me loaning them the parts for free! I know benny fancied one so would loan them him if he wanted to knock a few out

Rear indy's are a cheap pair of old Ducati style ones I got of eBay years ago, the front is a complete front end from a CBR954 the discs are the 954's 330mm rotors and calipers too, the 929 had slightly smaller discs than the 954 so will usualy be the cheaper option on eBay
Pics are a bit poor as there off the phone will give it a clean in the week and take some with the SLR
Thinking about part exing it now tho for an RR3 blade usuing my dads every day it has realy grown on me, either that or a caravan

that is one seriously sexy bike, Seb.....Storms, you can dress them up or dress them down but they'll still just make you stand and gawp

Thanks mate, still got a bit to do before im happy and done,
New Screen (crack in mine)
Powedrcoated Braced Swing arm
Tank re done and decals on correctly (stupid painter)
Wheels painted orange (possibly with white rim tape)
Red unterday at rear as opposed to the blue one (deal agreed)
New bar ends
Smoked new style Honda indicators at the front
Carbs jetted (had a dynojet kit for years but still not fit it for fear of wombles it up)
Carbon fibre heal plates on the high link pipes
Take off the scorpions and re-fit the blue flames (need new straps)
And in the future fancy rear sets and a decent shock on the back possibly one of those modified CBF 600's item and another HID system this time using a projector lens

What the deal with the front end?
Was it straight swap with yokes and wheel Or did you keep the firestorm wheel and discs

Yes straight swap, everything on the front is from the RR3 Blade
