Show us your street Storms (WARNING Mac don't look now pic's added)
It seems opinions are quite split on these bikes and although I'm a fan of some street bikes I never used to feel that the storm looked right unfaired until recently where a few have started cropping up on Faceb*** which actually look pretty good and almost factory.
Not sure I'd have the balls to street mine after the wiring nightmare I took on with a VFR RC36 a few years ago but I was wondering if anyone on here would be willing to post a few shots of their street storms?

OK not factory (I was stuck for words ) but some I've seen recently do look a lot better than the usual crash damaged, cobbled together, cable tied, pair of renthals and twin headlight "street fighters".
The Storm is a great looking bike without stripping it down but I'm interested to see what others have done.
Re: Show us your street Storms
I'm with Mac on this with bodged up & anodised blinged 'fightered' storms - though seen a couple featured in America that pass muster in style.
There's one on Superhawk forum that's well crafted with thought applied on how to move the exposed side radiators.

Re: Show us your street Storms
Everyone to their own opinion I know, but off the top of my head here are a few I do like a lot (sorry Mac ) ones which have been built to a very good standard, not just thrown together.bobbler wrote: ↑Tue Oct 23, 2018 2:04 pm It seems opinions are quite split on these bikes and although I'm a fan of some street bikes I never used to feel that the storm looked right unfaired until recently where a few have started cropping up on Faceb*** which actually look pretty good and almost factory.

Scubadog's that Kev L mentions is one of my all time favourites
This one by Alex Zemlin from the Superhawk forum
My apologies to the owner and builder of this bike for not remembering who you are. If anyone remembers who's bike this is or the owner see's this, please let me know
Then we have our Duffy's, although to be fair his is not quite finished yet, but is showing good potential
I've most likely left out others that deserve as mention, my apologies to those members,
Chris.

Big long radiator under the seat with fans and long plumbing hoses. You can just see it berween the lower subframe and the grilled tail cutout.
