2005 The 2nd best color for the ST1300.
Code 25 on my 2003

I bought a used ECU, but did find one New ECU police model that would fit my 2005 and the seller/honda dealer wanted $ 1,200.00 plus sales tax and shipping.
That’s unfortunate. Bummer. I’m trying to research vendors in Japan who carry aftermarket wares. I’ll be sure to share what I find out
The owner of a repair shop here in Houston was able to source one in Japan for one of his ST1300 customers (but didn't want to share the source!). So looks like a viable track. Maybe Jim at Eastern Beaver has some leads on that?
I sent my coded ECU to @CruSTy for him to harvest the connectors from back in the spring. He was going to try to adapt an 08 and newer ECU to the old connector to see if it would work. I saw he had ran into some family/life/health challenges so I'm not sure if he's made much progress on his project.
Slightly north of 1k USD!
And it's an A31 variant, so won't work on 03/04 per @aniwack: https://www.st-owners.com/forums/th...ferent-then-the-stock-one.183744/post-2434887
Great find and for less than what dealers wanted for them here in the US!
Fitment on that WebBike site confirms it: Fits 05 to 07 harnesses.
However....@vinceklortho had a few posts on this site claiming an A31 worked on his 04?
Has anyone here actually tried putting a police ECU (PGM-FI unit) in a civilian version bike? | ST1300 Related
Understanding that the part numbers aren't the same (38770-MCS-L01 vs. 38770-MCS-A31), and that the police version ECU may be responsible for the speed limiting (though that seems to be debated here), has anyone here actually tried using the police ECU (38770-MCS-A31) swapped into in a civilian...

I have to question whether it's worth sinking 1k+ on a 20 year old bike at this point. I don't think I will since it can be ridden as is, though I'm going to ride it mostly local from now on. For me, the light doesn't come on when I ride it locally.
