This pics are not great but you all get the idea of what it looks like:

Got to live life on the edge, what the fun in only helping people you know when you can help a complete stranger :lol:

For those of you that do not know I screwed up on the front tesioner so I had to re time the front cylinder. Thank ou to Lloyd and amcq for the tech help. Top blokes :thumbup:

Carl, this wasn't a 180 error. Chris forgot to rotate the crank after doing the rear CCT and took the front one out when it wasn't at tdc so the chain jumped on the cams.. Hence he had to take the cams out and then get the engine back to tdc then refit.

Oops, good on him for sorting it out though. I just got back from riding mine and it's like a different bike. I thought it was powerful before, but I had never ridden another Storm to compare aginst. It just wants to pop the front wheel up now. :lol: On the downside it really shows how bad my front suspension is.

Yeah I properly screwed up with it. But its ll sorted now and scouse says its running fine :)
Took a lot longer than I thought and it ment we didn't get his brake pads done but atleast he got to ride it away and all is well.

I wouldn't call screwed up, I would call it an honest mistake that one can learn from. You wont do it again :wink:

Hows your forks doing. Is it a real tranformation.

The forks feel great. Just got to get used to them. Got to get used to linear rather than progressive.
