thats what honda should be doing with the storm, and they would still be selling twins. good job mate.

two questions, the rear light, is it led, and how does it light up the reg plate, and what make of undertray have you fitted, and was it a dremel the old one to bits job to fit, or does it replace the origional.

AS FOR THE FRAME I PAINTED THAT MYSELF WITH ETCH PRIMER AND SATIN BLACK, 4 COATS OF EACH.

THE REAR LIGHT IS AN LED UNIT AND MOT LEGAL, AND SHOWS NO LIGHT ON THE PLATE, BUT FOR MOT USE IT DONT NEED IT, IT ONLY NEEDS A SMALL REFLECTOR.

THE UNDER TRAY IS A PYRAMID, AND IT TOOK ME ABOUT 2 1/2 HOURS TO FIT, U DO NEED TO TAKE A DREMMEL TO THE ORIGIONAL UNIT.

AS FOR ME SELLING THE BIKE, IVE DONE ALOT OF WORK TO IT AND I LOVE THE BIKE BUT I FEEL LIKE A BIT OF A CHANGE. I FEEL LIKE GOING TO A BIGE MUSCLE BIKE FOR A YEAR OR SO TO DO SOME TOURING, AS THE VTR IS GETTING HEAVY ON MY THUMBS.( IVE BROKEN BOTH THUMBS AND THEY ARE VERY SORE MOST OF THE TIME)
