Hi guys. Finally, after 10 months, 3 different "spray painters" and about 1500 pounds, my bikes rebuild should finally reach completion. Will post pics when she's done.

I checked on friday and a set of std high comp pistons, pins and clips would set me back about ZAR 3200,00. Thats excluding import taxes and all but i think that did include shipping. Not sure how much the oversize ones go for, but i know they only manufacture in sets of four.

Great!!
Keep me posted, and we can share the load!! I'll get the finances in order in the meantime and when it gets closer to the time, we can sort payments and stuff out.
Thanx!

On another note. Has anybody perhaps gone through the exercise of having 0,5mm oversize JE pistons made or does anyone perhaps have a set they would want to part with? I did some reading on the net and it seems they only manufacure in sets of 4? My storm is on about 60 000km and i think i may need t...

First things first. I have the carbs semi sorted for now. Running her on 190 main jets front and rear to try and compensate for the huge opening in the air box till we can get a replacement lid for her. Biggest problem now is the failing cct's. Not even gonna risk starting her, as it sounds like she...

Hi guys. Sorry for the long delay. The storm i question finally arrived at my shop on Tuesday, sounding very sad indeed, almost just running on one cylinder. Pickup and water pump seems ok, but looked like someone tried to plant potatoes in the carbs and the worst possible mod ever has been done by ...

Not sure if the water pump or bearings were damaged during the crash, but he has complained of a missfire and erratic accelaration after the other mechanic attempted to rebuild it. Thats why i thought the pick up may be damaged. Might be dirt in the carbs as the clever dude never corked the fuel tan...

Does anyone perhaps have a clutch cover lying around somewhere. My first client busted his up and i suspect there might be pickup damage too. It has been welded up, but i don't trust the welding.
Thanx!

Good day guys. Iv'e been planning on starting a support group for the Storm owners in our area. Last week i made contact with the first possible member. I'm offering highly discounted prices on repairs and spares as a service to firestorm owners as none of the shops locally seem to understand and ap...

Iv'e tried my utmost to ger the sliders to make a touch down, but it seems the rear sets i have on the storm, brings my legs much higher up, therefore unable to get the knee down... Sigh. Managed to scrape both left and right sliders exiting a left hand corner on the track, but that was when i went ...

Thanx for the replys gents. I'l work on those dimensions and hear what our guys say. Maybe have to open an account with the guys i use frequently. Can get up to a 30% discount from the normal price on account, so might be worth while. Thanx again!

Thanx Tony.
I'l give our local guys a shout in the morning and hear what they say. If i do bid in the throttle and headers, we can maybe arrange to stick them all in one parcell? Thats if i win the bid of coarse

Lol!
Cant be that bad. Paid about 30$ to have a set of fork tubes shipped via XPS from hong kong, and they were here within five working days.

I would also like to bid on this item, but how much for postage to South Africa?

I'd love to put down a bid, but does anyone have an idea how much the postage will be to South Africa for these headers?
