Re: Master cylinders

Took the storm for a spin after washing and polishing it.
Massive improvement over stock, glad I took the plunge to upgrade.

Re: Which brake pads ?

Good info there, thanks Cheeky Kev.
I'll be using it for fast road and a bit of commuting.

Cheers

Which brake pads ?

Currently upgrading my storms front brakes to 1998 fireblade calipers and am looking for opinions on which pads to use with standard discs.

Re: Which Rear Shock ????

Another vote for Nitron, well built for the price, sprung and set up for your weight, made in the uk and rebuildable too
