Would and kind soul be able to measure thier tank rod holder (dont get wise, it's not that type of website.. :wink1)
The "stay" is located under the pillion seat, under the left side of the rubber tool bag strap)
Mine was missing from when I bought the bike.... :'(
I have been using para-cord (string) to hold the tank upwards. I attach to the front neck hole and to the rear grab handle, it works well, but I would like to have the original rod.
I have just made one using a long tent peg, just want to confirm if possible?
many thanks :-++

Trust me, I'm a Calibration Technician. :grin

I have a tape measure in the house because Ms Gadget like to renovate, and the Garage is next to the living room ans keys were close at hand. :grin
Plus I wanted to see if I could be the first to respond (personal challenge for a Measurement specialist) :grin

Cal cert. Uhhmmm I know it is here somewhere....... honest!
Measurement Uncertainty, didn't someone threaten me with a smiting if I brought that up? :Stirpot
Ue ± 0.2 mm k = 2 degrees of freedom = 60. :p

Will some one please provide the full dimensions of this rod as per attached?
-
I would if I could, my ST didn't have one when I bought the bike... Wot thuh
I just made one with a piece of dowel with a nail stuck in the end... :grin
-
And I cut one end off mine because the change in handlebar position due to the bar risers means I can't lift the tank as high.
Just thought it was some info that is worth having.

I too would appreciate these dimensions, as mine is also missing.

Found on st-owners.com & posted by 2005RedRider.... :thumbs
Total length (end-to-end)is exactly 12 inches in length. The bends at the end are 1/4 inch each

Can't find my original dwg to update it but :-
Dia = 5 mm
A = 15 mm
B = 15 mm
Assuming both ends are identical then:-
D = 15 mm
E = 15 mm
Using the 12 inches from above C will = 305 - (2 x 15) = 275
I don't know what the 1/4" quoted above refers to.
