Hey Pockey.........just wondering where you picked up the Russell Day Long Seat?  Or were you lucky enough to buy the bike with the seat already in place?
I'd also be interested to know a little about the iridium plugs, are they better than standard, and if so, in what way. I've got 25,000kls on my standard plugs and they never miss a beat, but I'm interested to know.

And I have no doubt you'd be the best farkle..........you're certainly an asset to OzSToc!! :grin

I bought a few sets of the iridums ages ago, selling off the spares to members.  It was from the UK I think, which surprisingly was the cheapest place.  They worked out at $10 a plug.  The iridums work for a long time, first set 80,000kms only replaced because on fouled due to that cylinder running too rich, which I have fixxed)or so, current set about 70,000kms.  I would not say they increase performance as such, but they perform like new over a much longer time. The standard plugs can also go much longer than the recommended interval.

And here is the place http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/powersparks?ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:AU:1181 look for CR8EHIX-9.  Exchange rate has shifted a bit since I bough the last sets.

Hey Pockey.........just wondering where you picked up the Russell Day Long Seat?  Or were you lucky enough to buy the bike with the seat already in place?
I'd also be interested to know a little about the iridium plugs, are they better than standard, and if so, in what way. I've got 25,000kls on my standard plugs and they never miss a beat, but I'm interested to know.

Couch.  I have reason to believe (hope) the bodies were clad.  The seat was to be built for riding, so riding apparel would seem apropos.     >:()

Boy your lists look might impressive and my list looks pretty miserable so I won't post it....  BUT I would NEVER purchase a bike which had a TOW BAR fitted as it really knocks the shit out of the bike over time.  Especially drive shafts..

I'm not sure how a tow bar does that. I find they are an essential piece of kit if you want to tow a trailer.

I know that ST 1300's are TOUGH, but my mates who tow 3-400 kilo trailers (with their BMW's) have all had drive shaft failures, one was at Womera and a long way to get trailered home.  A 300 kilo bike, 50 kilos luggage, 200 kilos riders, I don't think they were designed to pull nearly a tonne. Anyway have a good holiday....

 ........ tow 3-400 kilo trailers ........


:eek  :eek  :eek  :eek
Holy smokes thats a lot of trailer..my empty trailer only weighs 50 something kilos, I would have to pack it with bricks to weigh that much.

No wonder they broke their bikes.

I think it also depends on whether they have a single swing arm or not.
I was speaking to a guy on the Border Run who said that towing with only a single swing arm on the bike puts a lot of stress on the drive shaft.
With a U shaped swing arm (like the 1100 has and I guess the 1300) the pull is evenly distributed down the arm and no stress is induced onto the drive shaft.
My 2c anyway ...  each to their own.
I would not be without mine now.....   :thumb

Same here when I replaced the final drive. Drive shaft splines were ok at 158,500 km and tow bar was fitted over 8 years ago.

The problem lies with the drive shaft on the BMW, I have heard reports of shaft failures with normal riding, let alone with trailers. ST towbars bolt to the chassis, not the swing arm, so not sure where the loading problem comes form.

Also, the trailer laden weight should not exceed the unladen weight of the towing vehjicle, so if you are towing a 400Kg trailer behind a 300Kg bike you liable to lots of trouble, not the least being mechanical failure. :cop :law
