Looks like some hard graft has gone into that. Are you planning on updating the front fairings to match?

Where about in Blighty do you come from?

Yes im working on fitting a new blade race fairing with custom headlamp ive had it fitted up reasonably well but am wondering what to do with the radiators as it ran quite hot,im trying to fab up some cooling ducts without cluttering up the front end,so have reverted back to the original until i have solved this.
I have never modified any of my bikes before but am really enjoying this job!!!

the radiators could also be relocated to a spot that wont interfere with your new front fairing

It might be worth looking to swap your twin side mounted rads out for a single front mounted one. It's been done plenty of times before AFAIK and no doubt there will be some info on here somewhere regarding tips for fitting one etc. I'm from Lincoln myself, seems as though a few ppl from our neck of the woods have turned to Storms :-)

Doing a single up front is very hard since honda didnt leave any room. Maybe you could pioneer using both side ones mounted in tandem up front.

Badass looking bike. You brits are ok.
