as in my intro i've had my storm since 98 and has never been apart or seen a dealer spanner after its first service, regular oil/filter changes and general maintenance has kept this bike on the road relatively problem free ( 1xregulator,couple of batterys and chains ). so i decided to do the changes to the bike that have bugged me while i give the bike a good going over , i have always not liked the silver frame/swinger /hangers or basically anything silver . so a total strip down has taken place







found a couple of things that explain a running problem i had, notice the 'o' ring on the left carb has been nipped , this must have been from the factory , and the choke had got a bit furred up







a few things i have already had coated








built a engine stand so i can work on it easier strip the bits off i'm doing black






will keep updating as it goes on

nice work sir looking forward to seeing how this turns out.....

was that a fizzy i seen in one of those pix?

Good work Gaz I like the way you have all the bits you've removed nicely stacked away on shelving
I look forward to seeing your progress,

Chris.

Nice bananas

Hope to see more pics of the rebuild refurbishment as it happens.

Looking forward to see this progress, keep up the good work

Looking good that

Looking good

Just about to build an engine mount myself

Will yours hold the engine solid enough to run the engine?

nice work so far.......... hope you have plans to get rid of the red bits as well

show us the pictures of your other bikes, the little yam looks fun and what is the old race bike?

.
I never knew Audrey Hepburn had a moustache.....

lmao. good spot

Good work sir Enjoy the rebuild.

Here for a good time, not a long time.

brilliant never noticed the audrey thing , the stand is quite sturdy but think it would fire off the table if fired up the old looking race bike is a rd50mx which i modified a bit and fitted a yz80 motox engine



got a couple of fizzys, one i modified and a standard one




and a modified x7



and a hell of alot of work to bring this pop up back to life

Love all the little smokers, looking at getting a nice expansion pipe for my old kh125 and making it a 17yr old boy racer replica.

The pop Kat looks like it was stored at sea

i had a practically new micron for a kh125 a few year back and did a deal on a modified barrel for my red fizzy
the katana was kept outside for 15yrs with no cover and the tank was a bit beyond saving



managed to source a half decent replacement




hoping to turn it into something like this

Katana was the bike to have back in the day. Hopefully yours won't have the dent in the tank!
