Thanks boys, cans back on now. Rattler, I did ask at the garage if I could leave the cans on and they said no, but it was over the phone so they could have been covering, just in case. Touble is, I haven't the time during the day to take the bike back, so I've swapped them any way. Got the originals...

MOT is due later this week and I am putting the original cans back on the storm. Thing is I can't remember how they hang!! :oops: Do the exhaust brackets/plate for the rear foot peg hangers sit on the outside or inside? Likewise for the hangers behind the gear and back brake pedals, does the mountin...

Storms done 7k now and needs MOTing this summer. Might ask the man to check the CCTs at the same time. Please tell me, what is the noise you should listen for, to warn that the CCT is/are on the way out? I sometimes get a nosie around 3-4k revs like 'shaking a bag of the old milk bottle tops' (a tin...

Can't be doing with a 1-peice with my beer sculptured physique. :D Not sure which to get: Dainese Kirishima 8) Alpine Stars GPU :x Wolf Kangeroo :twisted: All between £500-600 (the missus is paying) Then theres the colour, wh...

Chris, Kev I have an 02 bike too and think the clutch is hard work around town / after a long ride. Have just recently changed the fluid but no real difference, shouldn't need nee seals alraedy should it? Ben said - 'You could try moving the bar clamp further up the handlebars so you're using it clo...

dkt Just replaced my front pads with EBC HH sintered pads, and gave the calipers a real clean at the same time. Not sure I like them now, they are just too sharp! As you say, minimal pressue and you're nearly over the front end. I liked my old brakes where I could slam them on coming into a mis-read...

Excellente

Thanks for the advice, price looks good too.

Will get some ordered and fitted at the earliest opportinity

Cheers.

Are these the pads that EBC refer to as 'sintered?' What does this mean? Thinking about getting some for my front end, just wanted to make sure they were the recommended ones. BTW, Should I still use copper grease to stop these squeeling? How much for a pair, £20? Probably won't fit braided hoses j...

Mmmmm the memories...... I remember laughing my socks off going alongside the loch/sea, I thanked god for giving me a Firestorm, and praying not get get caught doing 130+? Don't fancy the sausage they serve in the clink! A memory to treasure. Can't wait to go back, will take the ferry from Gourock t...

Fester I got my bracket from GPS For Less, posted from the US. Web links are: http://shop.store.yahoo.com/gpsforless/unbrackitiii.html http://shop.store.yahoo.com/gpsforless/baseplatei.html You should be able to navigate the site from these. You should get a plastic clip with your garmin that allows...

Cupasoop I waited for ages but you didn't turn up, you must have started your new job... :wink: We passed by on the Friday morning, not much traffic and the A76 was a great 'taster' for what was to come later. You really are lucky having roads like that on your doorstep, even the A737 up to Jonstone...

Just got back from doing a 4 day ride to Skye (Uig) and back from Sheffield. No motorways (except over Erskine/Forth Rd Bridges) or dual carriageways, all A and B roads, plus the odd unclassifed. We covered about 1200 miles and I must say the 'Storm was absolutely fantastic. One of the guys had a '0...

Got a Garmin StreetPilot 3 fitted to my Storm. I sent for a special fixing unit from the States that fits to the clip-ons, it looks the biz but cost the earth, wait for it..... £110, then I got stung for a £34 import duty! It's made out of aluminium and has a milled base plate to mount the plastic...

Autocom is the only way to go! Not got any myself as yet, but after doing much research and questioning, the answer is always the same.... Autocom Never looked into Radio-Radio, but for Music, Mobile, GPS it appears to do the job 100%. Mate of mine uses his bike for work business and he can be on th...

Did the old service on the bike this weekend and even managed to change the plugs. Thanks for the tips, used a bit of rubber hose to locate and twist. Doesn't seem to clunk as much going into 1st now! The plug tool in the bike toolkit worked ok, but it wasn't really longenough for the front cylinder...
