Try http://www.scorpionexhausts.com/ I presume these are what you've got fitted and not the Skorpion a.k.a Akrapovic exhaust. If they are the pipes on the website you can get a high level kit including rear peg spacers directly from scorpion. Cost you a bit for shipping though as they're a UK based ...

Ben/Welshy Just had a look and the following are the settings i got off racetech for standard 96/97 blade forks: For fast road riding: Preload - 4 lines showing Rebound - 1.5 turns out from fully seated Compression - 1 turn out from fully seated For track use: Preload - 1 line showing Rebound - 1 tu...

May well be up for meeting up as i'll just come across the A5 to you.

Keep me posted what you guys are doing.

Its just in moderation mate. If you start with the shock spacers as its easier and see how you get on. If you get to 4 or 6mm of spacer and the bike still doesn't turn quick enough then try dropping the forks in 5mm increments. The only thing i would say is that dropping the forks is easier and free!!

I'll have a look later tonight as Racetech sent me its suggested sttings for standard Blade forks just before I got them revalved/resprung.

I think they're from Mario as he also sells decals amogst his very plush bodywork.

Mail me and i'll send you details of what he makes and his price list.

Cheers

BTW - don't put spacers in greater than 6mm thick as the handling go's off and you also run out of thread for the top shock mount nut. Mine got 4mm worth of spacers at the back and Blade forks fitted (30mm shorter than standard storms) and it steers very quickly.

Essex Bloke Dead easy to fit. First make the spacer: 35mm * 25mm *however much you want to increase ride height by. (Suggest starting with 2mm and working up). Take the seat off, unbolt the back of the tank, lift tank up and undo top shock mount (17mm socket). All you need to do then is push the bik...

I'll be there lads Is the pub you're talking about the one next to Ragley hall where the proprietor has his own helicopter. If so its a great place and the landlord is really pro biker. I reckon we stick around the Stratford/Worcester area as roads around there are great and pretty quiet like the A4...

Just thought i'd post this as a bit of info. If any of you are looking for spacers to raise the rear ride height of your bike came across some square washers in Focus (DIY store). Size is 50mm by 50mm x 2mm with a 10 mm hole in the middle. As they're only 2mm thick each its easy to increase ride hei...

All you need to do now is learn to go through the box and you'll be a challenger for Mr Gary Rothwell!!!!

I'm 25 2years NCB never claimed and 3 points for a 110 mph wheelie down the M42 but thats all!!

Costs me £378 TPO so i need to be very careful where i park my baby!!

Alright Gents Ran Blue flame high level ovals on my Storm for about a year with standard jetting and filter. Had it dynoed and fitting the race cans improved the mixture over standard and upped power to 104bhp at the rear wheel. Most Storms come out of the factory running a little rich and fitting r...

I live right in the centre of Lichfield near the Bald Buck pub so you probably pass me. Thanks for the offer but head bearings will have to wait till the weekend as there's nothing better than being called in on your day off........................fantastic. I'll try and make it up to this pub tonig...

What the hell is Stormy Petrel?

I should be out and about round Staffordshire tonight assuming all gos well with fitting head bearings this afternoon so might have a look if its not too far.
