New STead in the shed
« on: October 12, 2012, 10:29:41 AM »
So after lots of looking to find a replacement for our schmick ST1100 (for sale), we have found the one.....

So we have a Black 2009  :blk13 with 30,000k's......previous owner had already started the farkle process which i didnt really want but he had done what i would have anyway and he paid for it.....Honda Topbox, Delkevics, oxford heated grips, risers, fender extender, chrome grill, bike-quip screen, K&N air & oil, Iridium plugs, new Bridgstone 023's......(still got the original pipes & screen)

My first farkle already added cause i had to remove from 1100 anyway.....Kukyran GL1800 pegs (slightly lower and wider)

Now to add soonish.....Comms stuff (UHF, iPod, intercom, GPS, SPOT), Pannier bags, honda arm rests (wife insists) that will do us for awhile.....got airhawks now if required but will look at the seat in the future.

Photos when the snow stops......5'' to 7'' here on the ground at the moment......

cheers

Chris

Sounds great  :thumbs (not the weather - it cold and blustery winds here after the coldest day this time of year since the 60s)

Well did a 3 hour shakedown run today to just play with stuff.....happy with everything thus far......worked out the farkles priorities for the future.

Got to have a play with the Oxford hot grips on the throttle side......not sure if something is binding, throttle doesn't de-accelerate when you let it go.....does have its benefits though....cheap cruise control, transported bike home on trailer with a handle bar bridal, may have screwed with the throttle,  The adjustable screen is great.....and the exhaust note from the Delkevics would put a horn on a jellyfish !!!

Cheers
