New STable addition
« on: June 21, 2018, 09:35:17 PM »
Hi all.

My name is Shillas, I'm based in the Adelaide Hills and I've been riding an ST1100 for the last 19 months that I bought with only 37,000 on the clock, which is now showing around 58,000 on the dial.

As I never introduced myself previously, just appeared on the forum, thought I should rectify this now and introduce my new bike.

Following on from my ride report comparing the ST1100 and the ST1300, I've recently had the opportunity to purchase a well farkled and well maintained, but higher K 2008 ST1300 which became available through another OzSTOC member due to his purchase of a beemer.

The farkle list includes (as far as I can remember, some items that were fitted are understandably not coming with the bike):

  • 2008 ST1300
    BikeQuip Screen
    Honda Topbox
    Sargent front and back seats
    “The Woolshed” Sheepskin cover on rider's seat
    MCL Highway Blades
    BikeQuip Risers
    BikeQuip Rear Shock Protector
    Garmin Zumo 590 GPS on a custom mount.
    Garmin Tyre Pressure Monitors
    MCL Clutch Reservoir Cover with RAM Ball for mounting my UHF radio
    Contour Roam Camera Dash Mount
    Oxford Heated Grips
    Kaoko Throttle Lock
    Clear Acetate Fairing Protection on Pannier Tops, and Knee area of Middle Cowl
    LED H4 Headlight Globes
    Dually D2 LED Spotlights on MCL under-mirror mounts
    RadGuard Radiator Cover
    Pendle Parking Brake
    12 Volt power outlet under pillion seat, extended into the top-box
    Custom dual helmet hooks under the top box
    Right angle valve stems
    Plus other assorted items


For more pics, just search a few of the forums such as the "ST's in front of big things" and Stinky Pete's ex-bike will be there.

Looking forward to working out which bike to ride to RTE's and extending my range on rides with the extra lighting and comfort features like the risers and grips & generally enjoying a different ride.

Cheers

you got yourself a great upgrade there Shillas, and you can rest assured  its a much loved well maintained and farkled ST1300.  :thumbs
I still have my first ST1100, STranger and I think you may find yourself riding the ST1300 more than the old ST1100 just like I do...  enjoy it mate  :grin
