Im keen to aquire a tow kit for my st1300 if anyone knows of any

ST1300 tow hitches are rarer than hen's teeth, finding one close by, and then in your state (QLD?) rarer again.
Having said that, there are at least two commercially made out there, Classic (made in Yandina, QLD) and Unigo (made in the USA). I've had both, the Unigo is far, far superior.
Classic hitches are good, had one my CB1300, and now have one my ST1300. The Unigo purchase was a stroke of luck back in 2013 when an OzSTOC member was selling it. When it arrived I knew immediately that it was a better design and build than the CB's Classic hitch. I had a rush of blood back in 2018 (I think) sold the Elite camper trailer and Unigo hitch. After another rush of blood in 2020, I bought another trailer and needed a hitch. Couldn't find a Unigo hitch, had to settle on a Classic hitch.
I have a couple of more motorcycle camping trips left in me (we were talking of this at yesterday's RTE) and then the trailer and tow hitch will be available, first of all as a package deal.
My most recent motorcycle camping trip was was to the OzSTOC 2022 NatRally at Mannum, SA. I was to have my last at the 2023 Cold Flame Rally at Native Dog Flat, VIC in Mar 2023, but had a little incident on the way there. Other circumstances have got in the way of my last hurrah, but I'm now planning this for Nov 2024.
If you can wait until late November, let me know if you're interested.

I have a tow bar on mine that was built by Wayne Tingle at Shadow trailers in Adelaide, who may be another possible source. Of course, I also have a shadow trailer to tow with it.

I have a tow bar on my ST1300 that I don't particularly want. Here's the thing though, I'm in Western Australia. If you were prepared the pay the postage I'd be happy to pack it up and send it to you at no cost apart from the aforementioned postage. Let me know if that appeals at all.

Definitely be good with that Can you let me know Postcode 4506 Thanks Tim

No worries mate, give me a few days and I'll get back to you. I'm a bit busy atm but when I get the chance I'll pull it off and sort this out. Depending on how much mucking around it is to get the electrical connectors off the bike I may be able to send them with the set up as well, most likely I can will but I'll have to see. Maybe this Friday, maybe Monday I'll be in a position to let you know.
