It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

Just corrected the problem thanks to Carl.
This beast is based on CB750 nighthawk, the rest is mostly Honda CBR's different years and models and some Kawasaki, Suzuki and Yamaha parts.
Here is another photo:

I do like that look :) very stealthy. The way that top box is mounted is spot on and reflects with the modded fairings nicely "if that makes sense" :roll: They both compliment the over-all look :thumbup:

For me personally the only bit I'm not to keen on is the headlight. I would prefer more of a half fairing, like a Fazer!

you will need to change stems , (i got grub screws inserted too for piece of mind ) and get a small spacer made up for the top yoke , but it works very well ,, once the forks are set at the right height in the yokes ,

tbh i thought my bike must have been totalled , i hated the way the bike turned and the relationship between braking and turning , i replaced the complete front with another storm i had , and still hated it , then i put on the r1 front and it felt sh1t , i thought honestly i had a cracked frame or something , (im no expert but ive a very high experience of driving different bikes and swapping from one to another)
tbh the only reason i drivea storm is i reckon its one of the best bike engines to drive but i adjusted the r1 fork height in the yoke and found a sweet spot and the bike was transformed

highly highly recommend if youve the parts available ,

ive driven a lot of streetfighters etc with front end changes (that have given zero consideration to geometry) that ruin the handling characteristics of of bike , i guarantee this works ,
if you want any further info just shout :thumbup: :thumbup:

Attention long posting

This is my Storm

Image

Image

Image

and my big V2 sport cruiser, Belgarda Bulldog BT1100

Image

BTW: found a bottom fairing from 'Wild Hair Accessories' on eBay...for 200 €. :whatever

Image

Image

Image

Image

But I'm not sure which from both looks better.
The lean belly pan or the bottom fairing. What do you think?
