What did you do with your ST1100/ST1300 today?

@970mike it would be a good read if you would do a full overview of your mods to the 12 bike. post up a thread for us with lots of pictures and words. Lots of words!

Did you paint or powder coats those control pods?

Here was my post on the 2012 ST1300

Newest Honda to the stable | General

I just got done with adding all the extras to this ST, also did a full service on it as it was a garage queen with low mileage. It is a 2012 and had 16,000 miles on it when I picked it up in Washington. The price I paid was $5250. Took it for a nice 245 mile ride today. High temperature was...

Not sure what a control pod, but I did find the black wheels here for sale and I added them to the black bike, I like that look on it! :biggrin:

The pod that has the turn signal button in it. I guess your look so black because mine are so sun faded they are greyish.
 
Gosh, and we thought @Igofar was OCD.
Er, ... my bad.
Larry claims he is CDO, a notch or two above obsessions-compulsive.
Who am I to argue?
His affliction has led him to become a Jedi master when it comes to keeping the ST1300 in optimal mechanical condition.
 
My carb rebuild kit arrived, so I started working on the project. I separated all 4 carbs and removed bits and bobbles. I inspected the vacuum diaphragms and all 4 are cracked o_O. I did a quick google hund and :censored: they're expensive. Anyone got a good lead on cheaper than $160 each!!

I left my ST1100 in the garage so I could drive 6 hours to Mission, TX to sit on a couch and listen to my wife and her family play Mexican bingo. I'm livin' the dream.

Was up at Alice’s and this guy parked next to me. Damn did it draw a crowd!! 410ci home built car. The guy has spent 20+ years on it and it was a thing of beauty for sure. …Then I had a spirited ride later in the day!!

On Sunday 9/8/24, I went for a 150 mile ride through almost north Georgia. ATL out to Dawsonville (via 400, bo-ring), then out Highway 53 toward Rome - not quite to the famous Highway 52 route to Chatsworth - will do that another weekend soon. Back to ATL through Canton & the northern horse-country 'burbs of Milton & Roswell. A lovely 63 degrees upon departure, light clouds & mostly sunny. 77 upon return. Perfect day for riding. Longest ride for me to-date since I bought her back in July.

thats a fancy looking fuel pump
 
I noticed that while I had removed the reflective tape from my saddlebags, put there by the previous owner, it had left some sticky goo in place until later. I got after today with a clean rag and some WD40. After some careful work both bags came clean. They are still scratched but you can't disguise imperfections with tape and cheap stickers. It's better to have scratches as badges of honor. I followed up with some buffing compound and now they are clean and shiny. I also cleaned the key hole for the ignition and the fuel cap. Both were just dirty and needed a bit of scrubbing with a plastic scraper.
