Well, I got bored... and we all know what happens when little doggies get bored...

Nope, not "presents" behind the sofa, but Photoshop madness!

Seeing as JAY.B posted some funky pics of his sweet Storm, I fancied a wallpaper of it. I knocked up a nice but simple one here:

I don't like "busy" wallpapers.

Feel free to use it however you like. I'll do another when Alan's is all done and finished.

Looks cool Kitch ive saved it anyway,mine should be ready anytime soon but then again i am already thinking about what to change on it .

Ive found a really cool rear wheel that i may get.

To Jay B

i have done this conversion from one modder to another :wink: :lol: did you machine the rear hub and sprocket or a spacer on the front to bring the 2 srockets inline? as all the people i know have had to do this one way or another?

I have gone with a spacer on the front made from another sprocket.

i did both. the swinger is vfr800 and when i put it on the sprockets where 10mm out of line. so 3mm were machined of the hub and a 6mm spacer in behind the f/sprocket and i'm danmed if i know were the other mm went ha ha. but i had to cut off the flange on the sprocket in order to get bolt back in.and ya gotta put some washers in behind the sprocket cover or the chain rubs. bringing the sprocket out that far means a few more mods. something to keep in mind :)
