Truly a fine motorcycle.. marios bodywork is fantastic,. i love the braced swingarm... similar to the SP1 , the rear profile has a mean streetfighter type
rake. groovy colouring with the powder coated bits. a real cafe/ promenade.
poseur , ill bet you cant keep off it! gets a round of applause from Marty
8) very cool machine m8 8) 8) 8)

Yeah that aint bad Mono. Looks better on the Aussie site :wink: Oooppps sorry people. It is indeed an amazing looking bike. Makes you wonder what Honda could do if they really put money aside and just built a dream machine 8) Goes to show that vision is a big part of the equation.

The eyes boggleth.

So what did you end up spending on the King of Storms from start to finish (if you're game to tell...)?
If you ate yourself would you become twice as big or simply disappear?

The swingarm is actually from the UK... JMC Swingarms. They will custom make a swingarm to suit any bike to match any rear wheel... You can check out their site here:

It cost about $12,000 (australian $) on top of the original purchase price (& I haven't even started on the friggin' motor yet... :?

Firstly Zero 'ol mate... the swingarm cost $1,285AUD (about 580 pounds)$12,000...that was the entire project cost

The motor will get high comp pistons, stage 1 cams & a full bench port... I will be trying for 130HP... :twisted:

HE HE HE HE, yeah mono m8 i kinda gathered that after re- reading the post.
£ 580 Hmmmm looks like i found another bit o bling for the storm :lol: :lol:
dont look like i could fit a hugger though.. and i would need one for over here.
talked to Roger last year ..about a stage one tune up for my storm. he told me he still had some cams and pistons...didnt mention a price though,
130hp sounds about right. gonna look into it as an alternative to buying a new RSVr 8O . loads cheaper ..and deffo more satisfying..he also used to do a stage three [not anymore] only two in the country, one of em owned by an assistant chief constable 8O ...150bhp .. :twisted:

The swing-arm is from your neck of the woods...

http://www.swingarm.com

& cost about 650 pounds.

If you want the pipes, you will have to contact Mario Nava, as they were made in Italy for him!

I entered it in a bike show last weekend & pulled "Best Jap Bodywork" trophy....
