Sweeeeeeeeeet.... and whaddaya know you got the full all singing and dancing penske too, shame if it needs adjusting youll have to remove the seat. I think Roger might have had his hands on this one? so quite possibly the front has had a seeing too as well?? drop him the REG no.. he might have a record of it ? if its been through his hands..

I have always run D207s and D208s on all of my bikes. They last quite well and give a good chunk of grip. I have read that some people hate them and that they "shuffle" the tyre across the tarmac. Personally i think they are great.

I am glad to see that you are back on a Storm Kaz, did you get a good deal?

Got to admit it...
Like the bike! If i'm to be brutally honest, think the yellow's actually growing on me!
Not to sure bout the lowers tho, always thought storm's look better withou them. Make sure ya post some pics once you've added yer new bits!
Dave.

Brilliant Kaz,looks in great nick,be interested in hugger for mates
storm,right colour as well,he has black one on now,but its got piece broken off it,made up ya got bike ya wanted,nice one

My yellow storm had the carbon lowers and hugger on it. It did look a lot better than all yellow.
Well it did before last Saturday!

Noooooooooo Davie, stay away from the dark side

Was running on 208's for ayear and went to the softer 207's and had no complaints so far Kaz.
So you went and did a dealer swap eh ?
After i offered you a swap for almost the same bike ! ( except with polished wheels, braided lines, reworked cans,tidied rear,twin headlight conversion, blah, blah, blah ! )
Well its the lasty time i try to do a deal with you !!!!

Just to refresh your memory ::::::

You're sounding a bit peeved off Stu missing out on Kaz's RSV, perhaps she thought your bike was a bit too personalised and would always be known as Yellafella's

I will say that your bike does look pretty good even though I'm not really a fan of yellow bikes

Chris.

Yellafella, what make is the lower fairing fitted to your bike

Alan

Its a Pyramid plastics one, i had one on my Storm.

They come up on ebay every now and then.

Nice one Kaz, good to see you with a big smile on your face love.

Yella is the best colour, i'm sure you'll get it sorted to just the way you like it, and the shock and forks are an added bonus, pey the money to get it sorted to suit you, it'll be worth it in the end.

Penske do two options with the shock
-a short hose which mounts on the subframe rails on the left side
-a long hose with the resevoir under the seat

The one I bought had a long hose but I didn't want it under the seat so routed the hose under the battery box and mounted it on the right subframe



Is it the same looking as yours or has yours got a hexagonal adjuster on the top instead of my gold one?

it's running Dunlop sportsmax 207's. I've never had any experience with these... what about you lot?

Not keen personally but they're not bad
They are not nearly as good in the wet/cold as Bridgestones or Pirelli's
They take a bit longer to warm up
They're a bit pointier than the Bridgestones and Pirelli's so you get a sharper tip in

the yellow on the hugger does not match the bike at all.. it's a totally different colour

Bens top tip
Don't clean it so much and you'll never notice
