Hello all
Just bought my first ST, a 93 ST1100P. Been looking for a big tourer at a reasonable price for a while and this popped up. Got it off an expat Ozzie who bought it over to NZ quite a few years ago. The original red paint faded badly so for some reason he had it painted grey, which went green after the clear went on, anyway, I got it at a good price, half what they are going for here and Im in the process of wet sanding all the panels in preparation to put it back to Red , its done 72000 Ks which is apparently low for one of the.

g'day kiwisteed, welcome to the forum, enjoy your time on here.. Interesting choice of colour alright, good to see it going back to red :beer

Hi Kiwisteed and welcome to OzSTOC. 72k on a '93 ST1100 is barely run in, and she will look great bought back to red. I was over your way in March on a driving holiday, and was hanging out to ride some of your wonderful roads on a bike. WOW:
Enjoy the Forum. :thumb
-
Nice nice nice.. yep turn it back to red... welcome.
-
Thanks guys
I'm really looking foward to getting her out on the road, took it for a ride the day I got it and was so smooth and quiet.
I'm on the look out for original decals and also, possibly a missing fresh air hose, there is only one on the right inside fairing but looks like there should be one on the left as well, also the little flap where the pannier attach's , left side, is missing.

Welcome from Sunny Brisbane
You should find the stickers on e-bay - complete set.
As far as I'm aware there is only the one air hose on the right.
Perhaps the fitting is for LHD countries??? :wink1 :wink1 :wink1

Welcome kiwisteed from Melbourne.
When I first saw your pic I thought wow!!! an army ST.
If your repainting, think outside the normal colours, The bike looks good in some other unusual colours too.. :thumbsup

Thanks, did have a quick look on ebay but could only find Pan Euro ones, I found some NOS wings for the tank cover, really want the " ST1100 " ones either side of the fairing, and Honda on back of seat and side of panniers.

Welcome On In KiwiSteed :clap

Gday Kiwisteed from the West of Oz.
While you are sanding, go a little further, and return it to the original go faster White.. o:)
-
Welcome Kiwi! Some early ones may have had the 2 air hoses, but due to carb icing only the right was fitted for later models. Unfortunately stickers for older bikes tend to be European, so pan European is what you get.

Hi and welcome.
Parts list shows 2 fresh air tubes for ST1100P and PP (Police) versions but from 95 or 1100S and SP models have only one.
As for Australian ABS models all years have only one air tube. We didn't get ABS until 95 or the AS model so earlier two air vent tubes aren't an issue.

As for decals or marks as Honda call them.

There is a red for the 93P (PP is white) but whether you can still get OEM decals is another thing but air brushing or custom computer printed are two options. Select the colour of your bike (red) and the right decal part numbers will come up. Australian numbers in 2nd chart.

Thanks mate, looks like the ones I want are no longer available, so it looks like custom made, didnt think about air brushing, something Ive always wanted to have a go at, hmmm. Just noticed there seems to be something missing in the mirrors, if you look at my avatar pic there's a little spacer piece between the mirror and the fairing.

The spacer is taken off when police brackets are fitted, so mine never had them as a police model

G'day kiwisteed, welcome to the forum :hatwave
It looks like your already finding out how helpful the members are :thumbsup

A Big Welcome to OzSTOC from Toowoomba Queensland :hatwave
Enjoy your ST1100 :thumb Enjoy the Forum :thumbsup

The grey certainly makes the bike look like it belongs to some dull institution.
Honda Glory Red (AKA Candy Apple Red) is the pick of the genuine colours. Honda R101C is its official name. But it's a bit exy requiring 3 separate coats- base, top and clear.
You'll need a pack of STOC Cards to put on any other UnZud STs you see parked anywhere. We just might have to add our two Eastern Islands into the OzSTOC designation. Good to have you onboard.
-
Thanks guys for all the friendly support, had a feeling it was going to be expensive to do the Candy Red, Ill see what alternatives there are out there, dosnt have to be the exact colour as long as its red as on the ownership papers.

Hi Mate, and welcome aboard the forum.
Cheers

-

Welcome kiwisteed from Brisbane :hatwave
May I ask which part of paradise you're from?[size=78%] [/size]
I have a brother who moved across the ditch and now lives in Waiuku. Enjoyed our time there so much we even discussed moving there ourselves. (may be in retirement)
When I was visiting in February, motor homing for 11 days, I saw a lot of STs, but always when they were mobile so I didn't get to meet any of the riders or hand out any OzSTOC cards.
This time when we visited we went to Bay of Islands and The Coromandels and I soooo wanted to be on my (or any other) ST. There are some fantastic touring roads over there.
Anyway, looking forward to seeing the transformation photos and perhaps catch up next time I pop over.

Hi Gary, I'm in Quake City, Christchurch on the Mainland lol. I havnt ridden in the North Island but have been to Auckland for Block Courses when I was an apprentice, and the scenery was amazing so the roads would be the same. If it wasn't for that bloody Cook Strait ferry a lot more people would venture back and fro. The weather is pretty shit here at the moment, :cuss 10 degrees and drizzle so I will be investing in some nice warm riding gear.
-
And heated grips, I hear from those that have them here they are the best for colder climates.
Even thermal socks.
-
Yeah I have some heated grips off my old XS 1100, it didn't have a grunty enough alternator to run them but the previous owner of the ST assured me it has the bigger alternator fitted. It gets pretty cold here over winter, with minus 1 or 2 most mornings and quite hard frosts but I'm hoping the ST fairing keeps most of the wind chill off the vitals lol :thumbs I also just scored a practicly brand new Rjays TourTec flip front helmet of our auction site TradeMe for $31 ! The guy was having a massive clean out and just wanted everything gone . Good Ozzie helmet so I'm told.

Hello Kiwisteed and welcome to the fabulous world of OzSTOC :grin
Pockey ;-*
-
Cant believe all the nice welcomes im getting, bit humbling lol, not like the Cafe Racer forum I joined for one of my other projects, and all I got was WTF are you turning an XS into a cafe for , you guys and gals are :thumb
-
Welcome on in mate! enjoy the people and the wallpaper!

Cafe Racer
:eek :eek :eek :eek :eek
Off with his head I say.... :grin :grin :grin :grin :grin :grin :grin
-
Not sure if I should start a new topic for this but anyway.......Both my foot pegs are slightly angled back as if they are bent but there is no sign of damage to the aluminium mounting plate they attach to, even if the bike had fallen over the crash bar would take the brunt and even if the peg did hit it would just fold up, be interested to see what others look like.

Those pegs seem normal :thumbs
It's assists with cornering and aerodynamics :rofl

Ok thanks. The gear lever movement took a bit of getting used to, sort of east-west rather than north-south if that makes any sense lol

Been busy painting today, slightly brighter red than the factory candy apple but looks good, run out of paint for the side maintainance covers and the mirror buckets so thinking of doing them gloss black for a bit of contrast, maybe ....(http://i329.photobucket.com/albums/l386/bergfan/100_3108.jpg) (http://s329.photobucket.com/user/bergfan/media/100_3108.jpg.html)
-
It's looking good mate :thumbsup
-
Cheers mate ! :dred11
-
All done ! :grin quite happy with the finish and looks 500% better than the camo green lol. Been on a few short rides and I love it, cant wait to take it on a decent ride, will have to get my heated grips fitted, its - 2 degrees most mornings here at the moment.

kiwiSTeed :like it may juST turn out to B the faSTeST red ST1100.Red ones do go faSTer :hatwave
-
Cheers guys ! Seat is a bit dodgy in places but it will do for now, got some ST1100 stickers for the front / side fairing coming from the USA, the ones on the panniers are aftermarket and look almost factory, the tank cover wing stickers are genuine Honda. Might look at fitting a taller screen to as Im 6'2" .

Awesome!! ++ ++ ++

Awesome work mate, it turned out great :thumbsup
