I hope it won't be too long .
If I get the quills sold it'll pay for the new link pipes and shim kit for the tuned mota then it'll be ready to rock :-) .

Got some friends from the area looking into more places for me, which is nice, I really am wanting one right now..

Especially since I've just made a deal for an SV650 as a second bike. I'm a bit hesitant about putting the VTR on the track still, so I'm gonna get this for cheap and use that as a track bike. Don't get it for two months (it's from a mate and he needs it until he gets a car).. I know exactly what I'm getting for the money and it's not a bike I'm really going to give a sh1t about, so should be fun on the track :thumbup: So what if it isn't the most powerful bike, I'm not the fastest rider to begin with :lol:
The SV650 are good bikes YMVirt, and I can quite understand you not wanting to use your Storm on the track,

Chris.

Top job, looking very smart. Like you mention, will look even better with a bellypan :thumbup:

I am in the process of gathering all the parts to convert the butt of my "banana" CBR600fy into the more modern looking stepped F Sport race butt. That requires a sub frame though.

It's on hold at the moment as its too cold & wet :roll: Your a braver man than me :thumbup:

Fitted GSG crash bungs and mini clear lens indicators, yay! Sadly had to remove my steering damper to accommodate the crash bungs, and now proudly sporting a new GP Moto cover which fits like it was tailor-made :)

Got this lot back from the powdercoaters :)

Tapped out the engine mount thread and got the new adjuster bolt in finally (cheers once again Jamie!) :)

Image

Then checked my valve clearances while I still have easy access to it all :?

Looks like I'll be getting busy with some shims for my next job, then there's only a million other things to do before it'll finally be back in one piece!
