Let's see your HONDA ST1100/ST1300.

Any of you guys ever have any trouble getting your seat to latch? I hadn't until last night. There isn't any interference from anything as far as I can tell, but pushing on it and whacking on it doesn't seem to help much. Maybe I'm just not seeing something

I betting that the bolt holding the latch has worked loose. If the latch gets loose from under the frame the guts of the latch will fall out. BTDT. I bought a latch on Ebay and used locktite on the bolt and check it regularly. as a matter of fact my new latch fell apart as I was installing it.

Here's my 91 Pan European atop Loveland Pass, Colorado. I bought the ST 1100 new in 91, and put about 75,000 trouble free miles on her before
selling the bike in 08. I preferred the ST 1100 to both my 97 Connie and 05 FJR 1300, and as a result the older Honda outlived them both

I replaced the Honda with an 08 Triumph Sprint ST, and have no regrets as the Sprint eats up the mountain twisities where I live better than any of my
earlier Sport Tourers. (See pics below)

I sometimes miss riding the silky smooth ST 1100.... a perfect bike for what it was designed to do.

Loveland Pass .... Last ride on the ST 1100 in Sept 2008.

The Triumph triple atop Loveland Pass last week. The Sprint puts the "Sport" in Sport Touring


Same day... different Pass. The Sprint and my old FJR atop Hoosier Pass while on the road to Breckenridge for a day of cycling.

Sure ! The Falco does double duty.... Sport bike and Super-Sport touring ( 2 pics)

Sport ..... She's a keeper


Sport Touring .... Givi panniers and top box plus helibars make it into a respectable touring bike. Snowshoes are optional

[Zeekster]

That Falco is SWEET! Geeberz! either way its "way cool"! Oh! the trumpets not to bad either...Way to go Dude...

[quote=number9]It's actually the Laminar Combo (screen & lip) and it works very well. Same as Rackmans in the pic above your post I quoted. I tried a couple screens and did LOTS of reading and searching on the forums and came to the decision that the majority of 1100 guys like the Laminar combo out of the screens they have tried. I got one and agree. I can see over it fine and it does nearly eliminate the buffeting on my helmet - and it is more laid back than the stock screen so it's not a big barn door sticking up there killing the fuel mileage on long tours. I use it in the spring/fall/winter and summer if I am going somewhere that I know will be heavy in the bug department. For general summer use I run the screen in the first pic I posted, which is a Givi +1.5" smoke that came with the bike (actually, it's also in the pic of 3 at DG and on the road after) that I cut down 4". This allows nice clean air hitting my helmet (almost like standing up on the bike) and lots more air to hit my body and cool me down.

..[/quote.. yep, i fitted a lip & ears & i find they are bloody good.i ride with an open face helmet & have no probs...the worst thing to ride thru are grass hoppers,ya bike ends up yellow & it stinks... i will post a pic of my bike when i figure out how to do it...lol... and no i won't be cleaning it.
its my only transport...

Is that top case a Honda accessory or aftermarket?

Small world. I traded a 06 Sprint ST for a 06 ST1300 ABS. Aren't toys fun?

That's the factory case that's for the Euro market; not sold in the US. Most people, like myself, ordered it from the UK...

So, how do you like it compared to the Sprint? Does the ST have as much heat issues as the Sprint? I've ridden a few Sprints but not an ST-Yet! It's on my short list of bike to try and maybe own.
