The topyokes.com coversion is really good as it comes with HEL braided hoses and Renthal bars. It provides a very comfortable position for us older Storm riders. The Viper cans make the best sound (would like them with hi-level link pipes though as I had these on my previous Storm).
The double bubble screen was an eBay bargain - Â£17 shipped from China!!

The screen (so far) seems good quality. It's nice and thick, not at all flimsy and fitted perfectly.

I cut about 2.5cms off from the underside of the fairings from the back to about 3cm before the mirrors. I then bought some red screen edging trim from eBay for Â£3 to finish it off. I get full lock both ways with no fouling.

If anyone's got a pair of high level link pipes to suit my Viper oval cans, I'd be a good buyer of them. I've not posted enough yet to announce my "want" in the sales and wants section.

Next job will be to tidy the back end and fit 4 flush indicators. Which are best to use?

I've got a belly pan/fairing lower coming from Germany via eBay next week. I'll get it painted black to match the wheels. I paid â‚¬33 + â‚¬15 postage for it brand new! I find that the Germans fibreglass products are very good.

The belly pan arrived today. I haven't opened the box yet but will be right on it in the morning. I'll get pics before and after it's painted.

looks good mate,i think i might av to put one on the shopping list

Yes, it's not too big but much better than the standard effort. I'm going to get it painted this week at work. I've ordered a sheet of Honda race stickers to add to it once it's panted black.

It's a bargain at â‚¬33!

Does it come with a fitting kit?

Bigtiddle · Post by **Bigtiddle** » Mon Oct 10, 2011 7:54 pm

There's no need for a fitting kit. It bolts on with the existing old belly pan fixing on the right side plus 2 sump bolts
