Do you know anyone who has, or perhaps you've done a straight bar conversion on a Storm?
Just curious to see how it would look with the straight bars and "dominator" style lights up front.......

keen on this too.
If not to much trouble, maybe a few of you guys who have done different options could fire up a pic or too?
Will be doing quite alot of 2 up riding and find quite alot of weight bearing on my wrists as both of us are leaning forward

cheers mate.
So easiest (prob most expensive) route would be the likes if the full kit from these guys and the handlebars at about 30 pound.
