I cant say that I have ever seen one, it may require a custom build.

Suspect you're right, ……… bit sacrilegious to replace a top box i know but that's what i want to do.

I have one for 1100, on that basis alone I would presume (and I know I shouldn't), they are available for 1300.

So at what age does this "old enough to know better" kick in?

I as you may have Steve checked out Venture racks and bags and they list a L shape touring bracket for everything BUT the 1300......so you wish to use your old bag from the GTR ?? And have a backrest incorporated ??

Does the bag need to be easily removable   :think1

Don't want a back rest… bag one side swag and sleeping bag other side sitting on the pillion seat?

May need to do the same …. time is a bit short it would be handy to pick something up ready to go.

I have one for 1100, on that basis alone I would presume (and I know I shouldn't), they are available for 1300.
Yorkie (I mean SToogle),  if you ever come home to a shed missing all your 1100 gear,  give me a few weeks before you come and check my place. Is there any thing you don't have for an ST1100?

I have a custom made one that came with the bike, but I went top box instead.  It bolts straight onto the four mounting holes on the 1100, don't know about the 1300, haven't got one.   I'm in Singleton south of you and if you are down this way anytime you can have it at no charge.

Would be keen so see if it would work for me as time is short for this project, I can send you an account number to pop it on freight, if doesn't work out happy to pass on.

Hi Odyssey Rider, I'll check with the local freight guys in town and see what options I have in sending it.   They are a weird bunch here.   Some will only go so far north or they have other weird restrictions.   It won't have to be wrapped as it will require a coat of paint anyway.   I'll confirm tomorrow morning which is the best mob to send it with.   Talk then and if it doesn't work for you then past it onto Single for me mate.
Cheers

Hi Mate, havent forgotten about you but for some reason IPEC won't deliever up your way.   I got onto to Toll and TNT today and they were supposed to give me a quote today but never got back to me, so I will chase them down first thing in the morning.   I need your name and address where you want it delivered mate.   You can PM me at gibbo57@westnet.com.au if you don't want to display that info up here on the forum.

Hi All,
   Many thanks to all those who helped with the transportation of this rack.   A special thanks to Single and Johnny for the kind offer of taking it up to Steve.   All is good now and it will be picked up today and hopefully it will fit Steve's 1300,  if it doesn't then he will forward it onto Single.   Once again guys thanks for the help.
Cheers
