HI THERE.

now thats what you call dedication, highsiding your bike just to get some more new parts.rather extreme ! but hell if it works
At least you are ok ,
bikes are easy fixed, bones can take a lot longer.

it looks very much like the ones supplied by nws?

Im with al on this one.

Im sure you can get them,
check out hondas web site if i remember
correctly it is mentioned there.

You could try a pirelli gts on the rear & an evo corsa on the front
that would be a good compromise between wear & grip,
these work pretty well in both the wet or dry
or you could stick with the OE reccomended dunlop 204
they should last long enough.

ive owned at sometime or other, suzuki 900,kawa zx900 both are quicker than a storm & I think a standard storm is good for around 155mph max on top end, but thats not what storms are about at all ,the storm is about that real world midrange grunt driving hard out of corners with the tail end jus...

the OE standard dunlop 204 is a good compromise tyre, but it does have a pretty hard compound & takes a bit of warming up , i don't rate it highly in the wet ,try a 207 rr, it has a much sharper profile which helps quicker turning it is also very quick to heat up & verrrry grippy in all cond...

I know the feeling mate, here is a sample of some quotes i recieved after killing dead my 2001 ZXR900 ninja:cry: blade-£500 R1-£700 8O RSV MILLE-£450 all with above with £600 excess VTR1000F-2 £260 fully comp with £250 excess. GUESS WHAT I SPENT MY PENNIES ON :D & i did have full no claims...

I Cant comment on the Z3s tyres as i have never ran with them but
i have previously used both 207 RR
& also a evo corsa on the front & evo on the rear & these
worked pretty well.but whatever option you go for post & let us know what
& how well they are working on the storm.

try a set of evo corsas or a set of dunlop 207RR,i have ran both at some time or other & they both heat up quite quick, stick to the road like sh*t to a blanket (when roads are wet or dry), they are very stable & both offer great feedback on what grip is there, both inspire supreme confidenc...

I think you can get a white power shock for £280 to £450 depending on what type you go for, but i have heard only good things about rodger 8) & the pensake shocks i have heard are also supposed to be pretty good, so i guess with rodgers services thrown in you would get much more than just what...

Was it easy enough to fit ??
or were there any oh sh*t ,i just wish i had'nt started this type moments?

Phew! that sounds a little bit like far to much hard work ?? much better to just make a resolution not to crash !!! but as the saying goes no pain no gain.. I agree with AL on this one, as i think these things look good & work pretty well on the track ,but they tend to do more frame damage durin...
