Ordered some saddlebag liners from Bestem USA. They have regular (6") and wide (9"). I ordered the wide.
They are on sale on their website right now.

What did you do with your ST1100/ST1300 today?

I finally got around to mounting my TurboTom rack on my topcase for the 2012!
So, both bikes (2010 & 2012) are now equipped!
The red topcase I got from Dave David has a GIVI rack on it. So once I get the '04#1 back on the road, all three bikes will have racks on the topcases!
I also, I washed both bikes
and set the 2012 up for commuter duty this week. I'll change them back next weekend!

First ride of the year, trouble is I wasn't the only one with the same idea.
Nearly used up last years tank of fuel and the bike was so smooooth.
This is St.Mary's Loch caff in the borders. Roads were actually very quiet and the longest straight in about 160 miles was 400 yards.
Good to be back in the saddle.

Cleaned my kill switch so I was able to start the bike again.
Thanks to all the posts/info here it was easy to diagnose and fix.
Thanks to all who share their issues/fixes!

Is this the cafe to cafe route the cafe and bobbers of fame rode in the 60s and 70s?
Are you referring to the ACE cafe?

Rode to work for the first time this year. Beeped the horn on my first left turn (thought I was on my old Beemer). Heated grips felt good.
Back in the 60's there was the 59 Club in London and also the Ace Café as Upt'North posted. Also local cafes regularly used were The Old Manor Café at Blackwater and the Virginian in Camberley in my mis-spent youth!
Gotta get around to doing that! Mine is beginning to get a little flaky.
Yesterday I went on about a 95 mile ride to clear my head.

That's cycle-therapy.
Fitted 30mm handlebar risers and Crampbusters to Amethyst to make long range travel more comfortable. Got cramp in my hands and elbow aches going to and coming back from Wales recently. Hopefully these will help.

If you haven't already done it, clean up the turn signal side too. Mine was pretty bad. Cleaned/relubed and works like new!

Just filled up with BP Premium 93. 6.5 gallons. The gas had a green-ish color. I don’t remember it being green. I always remembered gas being clear, even at this gas station.
Is this new for BP?

I know they have started to take dyes out of fuel for environmental reasons, might be you're just seeing the fuel in its natural state, or not. You know you've just started a fuel thread, and I fell for it hook, line and sinker.

Glad to hear your bike is running great.
Welcome to the forum.
Welcome Kelvinator from Northumberland UK. Just don't ask what preventative maintenance you should be doing or you won't ride it again until 2022 at the earliest.
