I had this 2 years. Got it with busted CCT, so it has been out of action for 11 years. It's first outing was Cadwell in October last year. Nothing worked very well so its been in bits again.

It has a few trick bits and it as been made to work this time
brakes have been completely rebuilt and fitted with brembo pads
Fire blade front end with WP inners that seem to be about right for me
ohlins steering damper
Fly wheel has been on a diet
4 degree advance fitted
Dynojet and K and N
Nitron shock (new) to replace the WP one
Rear suspension rebuilt due to seized rollers
6 mm lift
Harris rear sets
Bling bits
Some more bling
Then some more .... careful not to and clashing colours that may over do it though !!!

Top job there Stuart

job well done...........
i'd love to know where you got the fitting kit for the damper mate. they look much better by the yoke, I know your using blade yokes, but I didn't think ohlins made a fitting kit that fitted the storm tank.

About time you had a nice one lol ! Looks good and you've done well

It was o. It when I got it and it has had a a bit of fitting

Very good job Stuart
Well done

Chris.

Very nice. one of those bikes you think are standard then you notice all the nice bits

Looks great does that Stu. I remember the hassle you had with it at Cadwell. I assume that the WP shock was scrap?

I still have the ap shock. It is probably worth rebuilding and re springing. The compression damper has seized . But the biggest issue I found with the rear suspension was two of the roller joints had completely rusted up

you wont lose that in the car park Suspension looks a treat set up.

I like that but is there some kind of copyright laws on the smokin joe.

That explains the colour choice, then.

I know Dream Machine used to spray Storms in Joes colours back in the day, would they have been able to do that for the public if there were copyright on the scheme?

The bike looks cool by the way. Very smart

refreshing indeed
