Motor Cycle Larry highway blades
« on: October 15, 2018, 01:01:30 PM »
G'day, ive recently bought a 2005 ST1300. I know it has been a past topic and I know Larry died a little while back now. Whilst his website still exists no one responds to enquiries to the web site. Does anyone know where I might be able to buy a set of highway blades from?

Hi philf and welcome to OzSTOC, the source of any and all information about your ST.   :hatwave

The MCL Highway Pegs are pretty well impossible to find, either new or second hand, and Alans1100's post refered to by Shillas is probably your best option if you are loking for highway blades.  Gone-Cruising in QLD did make some enquiries about getting copies of the MCL blades fabricated, but the fabricators he spoke with could not replicate some of the complex curves on their machines.

Thank you for the assist re the Blades - the PSR-USA website has taken my order, they are making a limited run and look like shipping mid to late December. Fingers crossed. Thanks again and much appreciated.

One thing I’ve learned in life... Steves are like lasagna and good coffee.  You can never have too many of them. ++
