The Red Winged Eagle that is.
The Mighty ST1300 Mk 11 has arrived, Wednesday afternoon actually. Early start Wednesday, short walk to #518 bus, train to Southern Cross, V-Line bus to Koo Wee Rup, short drive to farm.
Despite the ST1300 being in pretty good condition (after, all only 54,000km), it needed a decent tidy-up. The reason for this seems to be largely due to the ST being stored in a farm shed with not enough protection to keep dust out of many of the ST's nooks and crannies.
Spring cleaning commenced yesterday, and it is starting to look respectable, but more work to come, particularly on some of the matt black plastics which have taken on an "oxidised" finish. I've used up the last of a bottle of a Meguiar's plastic restorer I had o the shelf, and whilst it's doing the job reasonably well, someone (at Apollo Bay?) mentioned a superior product - suggestions, please.
Second task is replace the trickle charge lead plug with on compatible with my charger, and make the lead longer (for Helen's hand warmer - some heated grips). RH cover off to discover that this job will also require the fitting of a fuse.
More tasks to follow, once items have been sourced and arrive.
