ST1300 Tank Rod (Stay) total length Measurement?

[zevk]

Would and kind soul be able to measure thier tank rod holder (dont get wise, it's not that type of website.. )

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

hey Garry, how did you get to it so quickly, don't tell me... you keep the ST in the lounge? now theres a great idea 

[Gadget]

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.

Plus I wanted to see if I could be the first to respond (personal challenge for a Measurement specialist)

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?   

Ue ± 0.2 mm k = 2 degrees of freedom = 60.

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...

I just made one with a piece of dowel with a nail stuck in the end...

[West Aussie Glen]

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.... 

Total length (end-to-end)is exactly 12 inches in length. The bends at the end are 1/4 inch each

Here's the part number if you want to order one: 17891-MCJ-750

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.
