Re: New bike

You had your chance to have a yellow garage door, and you blew it.

That song that's out at the moment....

"Looking sick and sexified".......




If my daughter looks sick and sexified she's not leaving the house.

Not on a school morning, anyway.

Re: what have you done to your storm today

Mine had Denso Iridium plugs fitted, fresh 5/30 oil, cleaned K+N filter and re-oiled, stripped clutch and fitted stronger springs, and then went back to Halfords for more oil as I filled the bugger when I hadn't put the drain plug back in........ :oops: £20 worth of new lovely oil in the old stuff....

Re: what have you done to your storm today

Ah, the dishwasher, best friend of the secondhand parts-buyer..... :lol:

Second only to the freezer when installing head bearings.

If I'd known you were going to clean it I'd have sent you the dirtier one.... :twisted:

Re: SP2 today

Not yet, still building an SP-beater from a standard Storm, but once that's finished I may just be tempted.

More likely to buy a crashed wreck and rebuild it than buy a good one, though.

Re: WORKSHOP DAY.

You can get a fork spring kit, Hagon do one including oil, if it was me I'd choose 7.5 weight oil but anything lighter than the standard stuff will help. Hyperpro also recommended. You could also replace all of the seals, and both fork slider bearings( upper and lower)in each side for a complete job...

Re: Fun auction to watch

Taking the piss somewhat selling them as new when they've been on the bike for 1300 miles and have crash damage, though.....

But for (currently) £160 they're still good value, they'd only need a new entry end cap (and link pipes) to go straight on a storm.
