    Honda ST1100...back again

    An opportunity came up for me to buy back my former ST1100...I wasnt gonna do it but at the asking price is about as cheap an entry to the Sport Touring genre' as one could possibly find anywhere...short of being gifted a bike ...So like Brant and Dean...the ST1100 will again take up a prominent role in my daily riding and SwampThing will be kept in the stable relegated to XS rallies and occaisional dayrides... So maybe i'm good for another 10 years of riding...

              Good choice again Ben. Just be sure to initially remove the left side panel, unplug and clean those contacts to the VR...then add a dob of dielectic grease and plug back in. Also, remove that regulator and clean backside of it and the heavy mounting plate. Mounting plate IS a heat-sink for the regulator......will definitely save you from replacing regulator or alternator in future. Also, change the fuel filter(right side of fuel tank as I'm sure you know) and use nothing but an OEM Honda fuel filter.
              BTW, having the STeed, designed specificly for fast, trouble-free, 50+mpg, and LD rides..........have it haul your butt and the rest of you this direction.......Westoc here in G. Junction end of Aug.(26-30) would be a good start!

                All things are being considered Brant...but again making no promises... Theres a fellow St rider about 60 miles from me who has helped me work on this bike in the past...he has the most immaculate 3 bay garage with enough space for 5 full sized cars...full insulated...AC in summer heat in winter...built in hydraulic floor lift...Extremely skilled and knowledgeable...I'm in good hands...

                          Not on his Brant. It's an '01.

                          Yep, way to go Ben. KEEP IT...

                          Riding it to PA?

                              Oh yes.......it's aged enough, and wouldn't care to get stranded somewhere on roadside, better do those preventative maintenance little chores.
