Eeerg! How can you guys sell your bikes? They are part of the family and that Honda was the prettiest machine on this forum, bar none!

Yes it was an amazing bike, but i need to do 2 up this year. I can't afford 2 with the cars, boat and horse etc.

i have used them. iv just fitted the sticky ones and well impressed so far. before that rear iv just fitted i had the semi touring one,the one with the crazy pattern round the edges :o it was good enough on a dry trackday to get pegs and a knee down so they aint to bad lol. lasted about 4k and that was 2 track days in the middle of it.
the older i get,the faster i was :lol:

Today I fitted a lh side top hose from a VTR to my commuter hack CB600f.
Only 'cause the rh side top hose split on that, and it was roughly the same shape, but a bit longer.
Hopefully the head didn't warp, or the head gasket go, as I only noticed when the temp gauge was firmly stuck at the top of the red block....
I wonder what other Storm bits will fit.?
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Nothing new just the same old light flywheel, good exhaust and HRC bits in the carbs and ECU.
In fact I am loosing my ported heads but the minor gain isn't worth pulling the heads or spending the cash.
