ST1300 fuel pump replacement source?

I replaced mine with quantum high pressure fuel pump for the ST1300. It comes with lifetime warranty, around $80., but I also carry a spare in my top case for myself or any other rider that may need one in an emergency.
 
I bought one from here for my ST1300:


Doesn't hurt that they're just down the street from me either. Turned out not to be the issue with my misfire but the pump worked well.
 
I bought mine at an Advanced Auto Parts while having fuel feed issues in West Virginia. Not sure about the part number. I removed it from the bike in the parking lot and they matched it by opening boxes in the store. It also has a lifetime warranty.
 
 
You would be surprised by the number of common parts between the Honda car and Honda motorcycle divisions.

Aside from the fuel pump as noted above, all of the fancy (and bloody expensive) little plastic clips, studs and pins that hold the fairing on an ST1300, are also used by Honda as car parts - and are easily available from Honda car dealers at MUCH lower prices than the same parts fetch at the bike dealers. Also, virtually every nut, bolt, seal and bearing on the bikes is used somewhere on a Honda car (and they are listed using precisely the same part numbers) and the prices from the car dealers are nearly invariable lower.

THAT is why the complete and correct OEM part number is absolutely golden information.

Car dealerships are usually MUCH larger businesses than the bike shops and they carry a lot more stuff plus they buy in larger quantities and so they have pricing power - AND - the bike dealerships tend to use higher mark-ups from my experience. So, once you have the part number for your bike component - just sashay up to the local Honda car dealership parts counter and see what their price and availability might be for that very same part.

Just do not ask for it as a bike part - just ask for the part number and skip the step where you tell the guy what vehicle it is for....

You might get a pleasant surprise.

BTW - exactly the same thing goes for BMWs which is the only other company that makes both cars and motorcycles. The only fly in the ointment there is that NOTHING sold at a BMW dealership of either variety is likely to be inexpensive.

Well, I know of one exception to this rule. The thermostat on the ST1300. There was no Honda Automotive or aftermarket alternative and believe me I looked! The local Honda car dealer actually let me comb through the considerable stock he had on the off chance that it just wasn't cross-referenced or had a different part number. They didn't have anything that even looked close. The same went for 4 auto parts stores where I also combed through their inventory. Later, Turbo Tom offered one that I think he had custom made. Unfortunately it didn't prove to be any more reliable than the factory one.
 
So having the good fortune to this point to not have any fuel pump issues, I've never had to pull one for service or replacement. Everything in the photo @minhtri2002 posted in #13 is submerged in gasoline in the 1300's tank? (and something similar I expect in the 1100)

I expected the plumbing, but not the electrical connector.

A short while back a contributor posted details about a Diahatsu OE thermostat of correct dimensions and details. I’m sure a scan of that sub forum will lead to the thread.

Not sure about the ST1100, but the 1300's pump has a submerged electrical connector on top of it. In my case I inspected the OEM connector, and judging it good, just plugged the new pump into the original connector so I didn't need the included replacement.
