Welcome aboard

You are at an advantage of having already owned parallel twins, you should get on with the V twin fine,

Chris.

Sort out the basics first: CCTs and R/R before getting the otter fur seat mod ;-)

and pics, we like pics - with more bins discreetly in the background the better...

Welcome to the club mate. After the CCT's and R/R you will probably want to go for the whippet rack and cloth cap cover! Stereotypes on here, surely not!

cheers for the info, i will check the bike as soon as i get it home on thursday. what oil is recommended for it as i would like to change it to be on the safe side and also what are the oil change intervals,

10/40 semi , on the storm I change it every 2-3k .
Keep an eye on the oil level though as higher milage or abused use oil .
