2020 Bashan Storm - the Unboxing!

Hi Guys, Well within a week of buying the Storm from APMC (thumbs up to Don Hopper - very helpful and nice guy) the "magic box" was delivered! So I thought I'd do a little unboxing slide set - video is too hard with one person - then editing, ugh. So anyway, I've shrunk the pics for uploading size and decided to post the story! Was about a day to build - split into 2 days. Did it slow and steady. (and it looks as though I'll have to limit the pics per post - as 5 max - so will be in 3 parts)


The delivery and initial unboxing.....

2020 Bashan Storm Unboxing - Part II

And continuing from above...the unboxing goes to the hoisting...and connection of the mono-shock, then preparing for move to proper m/c lift...(I used a rather "impromptu hoist" set-up I know, but with the lifts scissor jack stabilizing it was safe, relatively).

2020 Bashan Storm unboxing - Part III

And then the move to the proper m/c lift, turning it around and rolling it back in the garage and finally assembly stages! - All in all - was a fun little weekend project. Wasn't too tricky despite no instructions with it - but the online vids helped some, and it's mostly self-explanatory, once you figure out which bits go where. And not too many left-over parts! Ha ha! But runs great, right off the lift, and the break-in period begins!

Thats where I got my storm from a few years ago, I loved the bike! Ran great right out of the crate. Only thing I ever did was a valve adjustment. I had it in the blue color. Your bike looks great man, happy youre loving it!

Thanks Buffalo! So far so good! Going to try to do a careful slow break-in...
