Already doing ok. Restored quite a lot of bits and fixed some major bodges that were found on it (from the person who had it several owners ago) It has taken a lot of work to get back on the road and I have a fair bit left to do. CCT's next, exhaust downpipe repair, Reg/Rec, stock pegs to go on, ful...

From my reckoning it is about a 90 minute ride to your town. (don't know exactly where you live though - PM me if you can because I can't message you) If I can get my sh*t together and sort it all out I'll give it a shot. However a busy weekend may scupper this. I would definitely like some help and...

Oh yeah and the wet does make them atrocious as you say. Its not that I dislike them at all. I just think life will be easier and a little more comfortable with stock footpegs. It is really useful to read everyone's varying accounts on this. I think I'll go for stock, Seems like more vibration reduc...

looks like it might be reverting to stock ones then.

Yeh on ebay I can get a set for about 19 quid. just wondering if there are any good sets before I spring for an OEM set. For example you can get stock brake and clutch levers but you can also get ASV ones. just wondered if there was a similar thing for footpegs for this particular bike. I'm not much...

Just doing my shopping list and I would like to know what people regard as the better footpegs for a 1997 storm. It has got aftermarket sporty billet ones on it, but they make your feet buzz like a good un. I don't have high level exhausts and I like em that way so I don't need to consider those sor...

Ok so I measured the pipe coming from the engine (couldn't measure any further down the pipe) and it comes to 141mm which using the equation C=πD it comes to ≈ 45mm The outside of the clamp already on it is 60-63mm (so a 60mm should work, perhaps a little small to make sure it clamps down enough. Ob...

To be fair the pipes themselves are in good nick for the age. Probably been replaced a few times.

What size w4 clamp am I getting then cus there's a huge choice on fleabay. You can buy kits but they work out more expensive than buying the stuff separately.

Will do cheers

Bike is kept in Derby at my missus garage, but I live in Ashby at the moment.

Derby/Ashby De La Zouch area. Live in Ashby but bike is in Derby. (partners house with garage )

Yes I think it is this Saturday though and I'm working both Friday and Saturday night, which makes it a little problematic or that would have been an ideal solution.

Whereabouts in the midlands?

Saturday afternoon is a bit of a pain for me as I'm sound engineering Fri-Sat evening. I'm free Sunday if anyone local can help?

Might need of list of tools/lubes/greases needed for the job too. So i can stock up before I start anything.

Hi All I don't think i can do this alone without cocking it up. I'm good like that. So I need some help in person from someone in the know. I have the manual CCTs (cheers Ade) and I have read through the guide on here (which is excellent by the way) but I am still lacking confidence in performing th...

This is something I had been wondering myself. Are they genuine? I did a lot of looking around and came out inconclusive. You're right there is no port to attach a db killer, one would have to be drilled and I don't fancy that. I do have the stock cans but I don't want to take these off. I can live ...
