Yes. The ABS computer doesn't interfere with the installed LEDs (IIRC, they are mostly below it), but removing it makes it much easier to get your hands and/or a mirror in from the top.

Another point for the ST1300...the ABS computer is in the back with the ECM...

Yeah, us ST11 owners are in the minority here but that just make us special!

I did have to work on the 2010 St1300, it wasn't working when I bought the bike crashed. Took me two minutes to swap it out.. most of that time was removing the saddles...

It was broke when I bought it...that's acceptable!
Good price... I think I had to pay $44...

What? A ST1300 can't take a little crash .... ;-)
I wasn't there, but since all the front was missing when I bought it, I don't think it was "little" LOL

Yes, but I paid $46.
Well, I just ordered 4 (1 for each bike and a spare) and got free shipping and paid for it with credit card points. What a deal!

Nice deal Phil. If you end up bending the bails, take some pics and teach us how to do it.

Re: New G6 H4 LED bulb with SHIELD is now availible - no glare no scatter.
I've got a 'spare' headlight assembly, so I am going to play with it a bit before I do the 'for real' installs. I'll get back with what I come up with.

That's the way to do it Phil. Lots of trial and error.

Now that I have these in my hands, questions -
1. It appears that you pull the metal 'base' off and install it first. Do you cut off the lower two tabs just like you do for a regular H4 and fit the adapter rings on the base before the install?
2. Is the next step to fit the rubber boots back on?
3. Then insert the unit through the boot?
I'm still sorting the 'bail' issue. What would be neat if you could fabricate a new 'base' (since it is held onto the plastic with 2 screws) in the ST format instead of the H4 format. That would make it really sweet. I'm still thinking about a better 'solution' for locking the bulbs down than the 'bail'.

According to my questionable memory, correct on all of the above Uncle Phil.
