Hi All

I just wanted to pop my head round the door and say hi! I've had a Storm (the yella fast one) for a couple of years and absolutely love the hooligan.

I initially had a Bandit, which was fun, but it was more like riding a 7 year old with ADHD and I wanted something a bit quicker, stable and fun, yet wouldn't leave me with a permanent damage to the nads if I rode for more than 200 miles. Also, I absolutely love the sound of the engine, the twin is sooo cool, it's like someone strapped a Spitfire onto two wheels!

I'm looking to add some new stuff to the ol' throbber; forks, suspension, exhaust etc and you guys and gals seem to know your way around so I hope to be picking your brains later.

Anyway, cheers and see ya soon.

Drew

& welcome

Lol, Seriously, my bandit, was mental Going into corners was a hope and pray moment half the time! At least my Storm pretty much goes where I want it to go

You'll like it a lot more when you have forks & suspension fitted, neighbours will appreciate having exhausts on too

Hi, mate, welcome.

Yellow ones look good with carbon cans on, black bellypans and huggers finish it off.

Shock needs uprating (or a rebuild, they're offered on E-Bay but no-one's reported having one done on here AFAIK)

And the springs and oil improve the front end, as you say.

Search the threads for some ideas!
