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

[Streak]

Are you planning some improvements for your ST? Let us know below, there is plenty of experience and good advice on where to get items.

[Streak]

I am planning to add:

Highway Pegs (to suit the ST1100)

Driving lights (just a smaller set nothing world changing)

[Dan]

I'm planning:

HID headlights
Aux driving lights
Need to fit my video camera
Motorcycle FM radio
Might get one of those SPOT thins in the future if I start riding in some of the more remote areas
And I need to figure something out to be able to make use of the space where the pillion seat would be.

[alans1100]

I've all ready upgraded the seat to a Saddlemen gel seat and I made up a goat skin seat cover to go over that. Comfy..lol
Now have a 10cm taller slightly tinted screen.

On the list are :

Shelf for dash (for hardwired Strike GPS and camera mount)
Police light mounting brackets so I can relocate driving lights
Cruise Control but throttle lock is ok until then
Battery charging wiring for battery in trailer.
Speakers for helmet as ear plugs are pain.

plus non OEM items

Progressive Rear Shock (next on to do list list after timing belt change)
Progressive front shocks (do them when fork seals need replacing again)
Considering a change of colour or at least a respray in original colour.
Upgraded exhaust system when original needs replacing

Added

Forgot mention that I all ready have towbar, trailer, rear rack and Rjays topcase.

[saaz]

None really.

[Malcolm6112]

Heated grips would be a plus.
A gag to use on the wife when I spend money on the STead.
Maybe a sub woofer to play dof dof music?


 

[terrydj]

So he has a think and, Hmmmmmmmm maybe some subwoofers and an amp like whats in the car, and a 42" hi def for them long night trips

[Nh478m]

MCL blades as long as I don't get knee issues with them. Asking advice elsewhere.

[Shiney]

Long term outlook of add ons/farkles to go on the beaST:

Throttle lock (until I can afford Cruise Control, then CC for sure  )
Heated grips
Highway blades
Passenger foot peg lowering brackets
Power outlets
Ram balls (for iPhone holder and other stuff)
Grip covers
Bagster tank cover (just have to find one for my bike/right colour, & have the money )
John Moorehouse Seats
Handle bar riser
And that's all I can think of for now

Well I my new black doughnuts just arrived from the US so will be adding them very soon (PR3 both)

Tipsy

[Brock]

I will be putting on some reflective panels on the Paniers. Black that reflect white. Just as soon as they arrive.

Wait, there is the Posty now, looks like I fit em tonight.

Photos later.

Thanks for sending them so quickly Peter.

[saaz]

I am interested in those so would be interested how they go on the ST11 as the surfaces on the rear panniers are a bit different to the ST13.

[Brock]

Pictures will be posted.
These are black panels, designed for the White ST1100PY. They wont be visible in daylight, but will blow white under headlights (or flash)

The panels are being fitted now, My Son does this stuff for a living, so if it gets stuffed up its his fault.

[Brock]

The rear of the bike before dark



The bike in the Dark. These things are good



The buggers have to see that!!!!  Photo taken with my new Samsung Galaxy tab 10.1

I have a set to go on my bike from Peters safety solutions, they the goods, the set I saw on diesels bike where fantastic, no illusions that there was a bike in front of you!

[saaz]

That setup looks good.  I might measure up parts of my topbox to see if I can fit  some tape on it (it is black palstic not painted)

[Brock]

The quality of the shaping was excellent, and the kit also contained rubber (surgical) gloves and a plastic scraper / applicator. These have been specifically made for the police ST1100 to go on the black bits..

No body ran into the back of me on the way to work this morning, so either they did the job, I was riding to fast for the cars to get me or both..

They arent overpowering, and the bit I really like is that they dont stand out in daylight

[sac468]

1, Driving Lights (above Mirror with brackets for ST13)
2, HID Headlights
3, LED DRL (mounted just below Headlight)

What did surprise me, and I don't know if it's standard on ST1300's, but while rummaging through the right fairing pocket last week, I came across a cigarette lighter power outlet.
Do they all have this?

[Brock]

Reflective panels (well whaddya know )

I wish the 1300 came standard with a power outlet but I'm afraid they don't  :(
You are just very lucky

It's not rocket surgery to install one.  You buy them at Autobarn etc for a few bucks and run a 16g or 18g wire via a 10A fuse from your choice of hot battery or switched source.  Get one with a plastic cap to keep out unwanted intrusions.  IIRC it's a 7/8" hole drilled in the back of the pocket of your choice (I went with lockable left).  It takes up no space in the pocket.  Brock will check my numbers for us.
