Anyone know where I could source a tank protector like the one I saw on this bike being sold in this Ad? I've seen some on EBAY from the UK built for the Pan European model that cover the entire tank. I kind of like this 1/2-3/4 type if I could find one.

Looks like a Bagalux tank cover to me as I have one on my 1100 (see avatar). It has mounting points for a large tank bag on it (also from Bagalux and called a Bagster). Hope this helps. Great for shopping or touring!

Looks like a bespoke kit for the squad bike shown...
I also only know the Bagster tank-bra:

IIRC, someone here made his own tank cover, might it have been @kiltman? If you can use a sewing machine, it's doable. Make patterns out of paper, buy materials from a shop like Tandy (leather), and have at it. Might be helpful the first time to make a model out of fabric, work out the bugs and modifications on the cloth, then go for leather.

I'd always understood the term bespoke standing for items made to particular specifications/requirements (see: bespoke motorcycle seat ), but it seems to get progressively misused for marketing purposes ... :shrug2:

When you are talking advertising or marketing, words have an entirely new interpretation, with only a nod to their original meaning.
 
One will confuse the non-British with words like bespoke. Yes, it's succinct, terse, and to the point (all those are synonymous, correct?), but those across the pond might have to look it up : )
 
I've always understood the term bespoke standing for items made to particular specifications/requirements as in:

"Is that gonna fit me?"
"A bespoke suit always fits."

Yes, lot of cool ST1300 Police accessories. I read on their website that they are the #1 seller of Honda Police bikes. I saw one of those used ST1300 HBH seats on Ebay for only a $100 a couple months ago. I wish I would have pulled the trigger on it. I couldn't find any reviews or feedback here on their Gel Seat. I figure it had to be better than my OEM seat. I ordered the Tank Bra.

Mother Honda even mentions HBH on her site as being a partner for the STPs.
I talked to a guy down there yesterday trying to get info on production years of the STP but he was no help. It would probably take somebody higher up their food chain and maybe even a little research on their part for that info.

Police Motorcycle (ST1300PA) - Honda Powersports

The best police cruisers adhere to the best principles of law enforcement. With power, stealth, and reliability, the ST1300PA is everything you expect in a Honda.
powersports.honda.com powersports.honda.com

If one looks closely at the URL, we see "2016", so i assume that's the last year?

EDIT: i found this elsewhere:
Note: Honda provided the ST1300P for the 2019/2020 LASD test (conducted in 2018) but not the latest (2019/2020) MSP test.
