Picked up a 2002 ST for "Nude/ Naked" project

[Mico2222]

It wasn't until last week that I even knew this platform existed until I saw one for sale. Contacted the seller and set up the meet. As soon as I sat on the bike I knew she would be perfect for what I had in mind. I am not sure what kind of slack I will get but here it goes. I wanted to build a "Cafe Racer/ Bobber" so here is where I am at. Ordered a new headlight, tail light for it as well as overflow tank that will relocate to the front. Looking into a digital gauge cluster if anyone has any suggestions. I know the Speedo needs to
Be mechanical so the ones I am looking at have both. Before I went any further, I zip tied the lights back on and went and got it inspected so I can get it registered. With that said, I will have a few parts available if anyone is looking.

Will do. So far I have the nose clip, windshield, tail fairings, main fairings with grey compartment pieces, clock, front wheel fairing, side bag brackets and mirrors. Will have the tail lights and headlight soon as well. I'm in Jacksonville NC.

Waiting for headlight and taillights to arrive. May start cutting off metal tabs that hold the fairing on since they will never go back on.

Excellent. I would like just about everything, and there'd be no shipping.

I have a friend in Wilmington I'm expecting to visit in the near future.

It's been done in several flavors... some ideas:

1996 ST1100 (Non-ABS) Fork Spring Spacers / Preload | ST1100-Suspension

Greetings ST1100 owners - can anyone provide the left and ride side fork spring spacer/preload collar measurements for an OEM '96 ST1100? Length is the one I need most, internal and external diameter would be helpful as well. More details for those interested: I am currently in the process of...

Getting rid of engine guards and modifying fairing to clean up the lines.. | ST1300 Related

I love the bike so far....just think the engine guard 'bumps' ruin an otherwise sleek looking machine. Then get a Blackbird. For roughly the same money. Add Givi 3-bag setup. Super-comfy. Done. BTDT. EDIT: And lots less weight.

Going out.. in the nude? | ST1100 Related

Has anyone had experience stripping the front plastics and adding a headlight and turnsignals to the bike. I don't want to do this but my bike is falling apart in the front end. It is more cost effective to just strip it all away and add an aftermarket headlight / windscreen than replace every...

Update: Cut a few pieces off to clean it up. Installed headlight and tail lights. Rigged up a temporary mirror to make it road legal. Still researching the digital/ analog cluster. Also put a bunch of hole in the exhaust for better sound. Should have just cut out the baffles lol

My 2000 ST1100 has the same faded paint scheme. I guess it is common.

You should get rid of the gas tank cover and go full industrial.
