Hi, i took them to a paint shop that mostly does bike work, they cost £115 and as for the finish they are painted with a clear coat on top, it looks pretty tough but as the guy at the shop said if you are going at 90 and stone hits the rim it is likely to chip but other than that they should be ok,...

Hi mate , posted some more pics without the QUILT !!!

Hi mate, i made them myself using a piece of ali and a spacer similar to those used to space out rear footrests. i drilled the subframe, bolted the rectangular piece to that which then comes down through the undertray then the spacer goes on the end with a bolt through all of that and the exhaust ha...

And the winner is 27mm. Apparently they vary from bike to bike. i knew i would catch you out one day del .

I need to get a socket to fit the swing arm spindle nut ( left side, not bolt end) but not sure of size , 26mm ??? anyone help.

Hi, i have just got my wheels back from the spray shop and i have to say they look the dogs . I have posted a few pics in the misc gallery but they dont really do them justice. They are a deep red with a slight pearl fleck in them, i will post some more pics when they are on the bike.

Thanks for pointing out the picture i think i will have to get one. ps that chain does look a bit sad, you know you can buy these tins with chain lube printed on the front, chains love it !!!! , dodds.

Hi, yes i did get them done and they should be done in a couple of days. I decided against the polishing option, and have got them painted a ducati red with a black pin stripe on the edge of the rim 8O , i also bought a wavey rear disc to go on and i found a swing arm on ebay for a tenner which i ha...

Del, thanks for the info again, (do you think day will come when someone will ask a question you don't know the answer to ), cheers dodds.

hello again, a quick question about changing my clutch line. I have done all the brake lines on my storm and now want to change the clutch line, but i have noticed that the line has a metal pipe running in side the fairing for most of its length. Can i just swap the whole line for a braided one and ...

Hi mate, i have been thinking of painting mine for a while as well, i have posted a pic in the misc gallery for you to look at, it is quite simple but i think looks the dogs !!. ps evan if you like it please dont ask to sign my pants .

Hi mate , just thought i would let you know that someone is selling wavey discs on ebay at the moment brand new, i think there are to sets available and he wants £200 for them, these are the braking ones as well !!!. i saw he had a set on a while ago and they did not sell. hope this is of help, che...

Thanks for all your ideas, i do like the idea of polished rims but as i use the bike most days in all weathers i'm not sure how good the finish will last, so i think i'm going red (its not subtle i know but who cares :twisted: ). I am going to put them in the shop on the weekend so if anyone has any...
