hi everybody , i've had my storm since 1998 and in that time she has used one rectifier 3 batterys and god knows how many rear tyres , its on about 28000 miles and has only had the dealer spanners on it for the first service , i've done the rest which consisted of a service every mot regardless of miles.
so last year i decided to do the changes to it that had always bugged me i;e everything silver
the strip down went well untill the final engine bolt removal which was the one that goes through the front cylinder i hit it with everything i'd got and was worried about busting the frame and eventually had to drill the bolt out. anyway the rebuild is now on with the silver bits now gloss black so if everything goes well i'll post rebuild pics on here and will be quizzing on the best cam tensioners to replace with .

Looks a good job so far mate. How come you left it so long to get on here?
Welcome to the gang

Welcome... Took your time getting here but you do have a red one, so that kind of explains it

been busy with my strokers and sadly the storm was taking a back seat but she's been brought to the top of the list , plus i didnt know there was a storm site , but i'm here now

welcome gaz.....

cheers for the welcome lads , just found this pic which i think was just after i had fitted the moriwaki belly pan , this would of been about 1999 i think

Welcome aboard buddy
