You can easily make a mount using a flat bar of a reasonable thickness to minimise any wobbling of the bar when riding. However mounting the bar on the ST1300 bike is just a little more fiddly then on the ST1100 with the need to add reasonably strong spacers to the bolts so as to clear the ocky strap holddowns on the underside of the rear plate on the ST1300. I used threaded spaces from Bunnings and used short bolts into the spacers to hold the tail plate down and then used appropriate length bolts thru the bar and up into the spacers from below.
