Re: What add ons/farkles do you have planned for your ST?

[gibbo57]

Hi Hoffy, I have the exact same one which I fitted about 600km ago.   I used the four hex bolts behind the seat and made some custom brackets to reinforce the topbox bottom plate as it was a bit stronger that way,   I also have my UHF Aerial coming off the right side from one of the mounting brackets.   They seem to tilt back on an angle (downwards) at the rear.   I fixed that problem by cutting some curtain rod and used it as spacers under the back two bolts.   This leveled the topbox up to a good position.   Just be aware of your seat position.   My first attempt of mounting it screwed up as I had it to far forward and I couldn't lift the rear of the seat up too get under it, whoops. Just a thought.
Cheers
Gibbo

The case Heather bought will replace a rather aged Rjays one which we bought in 2005 for our previous CX500. Three years after I bought the 1100 I decided to fit the case after finding an OEM rack for the bike. That was five years ago and the case hasn't been off the bike in that time.

I installed a LED brake light on top of the Rjays case but I have yet to decide whether to put it on the new case or not.

Hey thats a great spot to mount your 12V power......wish I had thought of that    Hang on a minute

It was one of my great ideas, at least after Chris mentioned it two weeks ago....we did not actually test the outlets so hope they work

Naturally ALL work was completed with a concrete guarantee........once the bike is off the concrete the warranty is void

As you consider what farkles your ST deserves, don't forget the topic mentioned above.  There's lots of good information about what others have done to their ST's.

[tj189]

good onya Pete for bringing that one up, nearly forgotten about it 

[StinkyPete]

I've just ordered a set of MCL Highway Pegs, to give me some more leg position options on the long hauls.   
They were on the back-burner, but the finance director has approved the funds, so I ordered them before the decision was revoked.

I've also ordered some LED Brake/Tail light globes and Rear Indicator GLobes, which are a little brighter than standard, so that they will stand out better.

For the Westies I have 2 sets of highway blades for a 1100 following Tipsies design. Anyone interested.

I have ordered some new add ons for the ST1300 today, i see it as a Golden opportunity to do something different with the bike.

i am sure there will be people who will love it, and will hate, but i am betting it will be a talking point or two.....

[Brock]

I hate it...

 

[STroppy]

BMW Badges?

[Streak]

BMW Badges?

Don't keep us in suspense.   I'm guessing a RusselDayLong Seat, but what else .... something that's innovative and unique that we haven't seen before.

Russell Day Long is 1 of 5 parts, the rest you will have to wait and see.....

  Heaven (if it exists) forbid, not training wheels (side car). I haven't seen one of them here and it is different.

No one will ever hate it, they will just appreciate it differently........................................
