Introduction
« on: October 03, 2017, 10:42:58 AM »
Hi All, Stuart is my name and my bike is an ST1300. Met Yorkie in York a couple of weeks ago when riding from Perth to Esperance - He came and chatted to myself and a couple of others in our crew heading for a 4 day weekend. Had a great weekend away and knocked out 2000KM over 3 days to test our endurance as i am planning a Perth Canberra run in late March 2018. So here I am joining the group. Look forward to contributing
Cheers
Stuart (perthcarpetcleaner)

Welcome to the forum from SA.

Nice setup you've got there with the trailer.

You'll get heaps of useful advice, whether you want it or not  :rofl :Stirpot

Welcome PCC. Quite a few white ST Owners in here, but you'll come to realise the red ones are faster.   :grin

Also a lot of us are FarRiders- the ST is one of the best mile-munchers available.  You can improve its ability by installing a cruise control, custom seat and highway pegs.  You can search all those items using the search button at the top.  FarRiders hang out at
http://farriders.com/forum15/index.php
I'm Biggles over there, too.

A reasonably common FarRider outing is Perth to Sydney (or Newcastle) in 50 hours or less.  The return trip has been done in 90 hours (with rests).

Welcome form Adelaide.     A nice set up up.  I like the way you have set up your foot pegs.   If we cross paths some where I will have to have a closer look.      :thumb

G'day STuart, welcome from the eaST coaST NSW. that's a nice lQQking STeed. All those extra switches on the Police  models are good for extra lights. I have my HIDs on #2 and Roo spotters on #1, cooling fan on #4 ,  others are good for power outlets or isolating power if you run it thru your trailer hitch. I have an 1998 ST1100P and a 2008 non police ST1300.  ;-*

hi Richo
bent these up myself as thought the after market ones i saw were just too expensive
put self adhesive black non slip grit on the bars so your foot can be in a range of different position to help with the knees and circulation in the backside.  They just bolt onto existing 10mm threads which are underneathe the grey plastic covers. Very easy to remove if needed.

Interesting approach to the cruie pegs.

A word of warning, pay no attention to Murphy, he is seriously sleep depraved, ( not a misspell) he sits up all night looking for jokes to post all day, while watching movies of dubious quality.
