Just bought it - thanks!
And I just got the one pulled off my 'smoking' engine - and finished stripping the engine before I toss it!

Perhaps a moot point, but how was the O ring once you got it apart? I don’t recall anyone finding that particular O ring in bad shape.

Old and crusty - the bike is 97 with 140,000+ miles on her.
My goal is to replace all the o-rings, timing belt (though it doesn't need it), water necks, pulleys and water pump while I'm this deep into her.
Then I should be good for another 100,000 miles which will put the bike at about 1/4 million miles total.
One or both of us will probably be turned into dust before that happens since I spread the miles out between the four of them ...

The ST1100s are getting old with time and mileage (like their owners ) so I guess that O ring like the others now.
Sounds like you are good to go for a long time with the fleet.

Well, RedBird is coming up on her 200,000 mile mark (184,000+ miles now) so I will do the same to her.
Then BlueBelle is sitting at 80,000+ miles so she will be next.
SweetTreat is good for a while since the replacement engine only had 23,000 miles on it.
It's almost as easy/quicker to do an engine replacement as it is doing all of this ...

I gotta come down and see you do one of those enginectomies. It would be so educational! Glad you are keeping those wonderful machines in good order.
