Been looking around, trying to decide what is going to be the first mod I do the the ST, it came with wind deflectors on the mirors, looks good, may add the ones down the fairing as well. Really like the look of the Corbin Smuggler setups, may start with the front seat at first, then add the trunk, but already have a GIVI trunk (also came with bike). Anyway, I guess my pointless rambling is derived from the hard time I've been having to find places that sell stuff for the ST. My question for you guys here would be where do you shop? It would be nice if we had a sticky thread with a big list of websites that sell ST related products that we could add to as we find more stuff.
Is this possible? If not I'll be happy with a few suggestions stored here where I can search for them as needed.
thanks,
George

We did some vendor ratings and they are in the vendor section of the site.
I usually try and start with them first and Google it if I can't find it there or post to the site and see if anyone knows of a place. Of course I posted last night and only got one reply.
I actually want to create a URL database that would do what you're suggesting for Long Distance riding, farkling, and ST specific stuff but it's a lot of work. Just getting user accounts working is a pain.
I would start with Ron Ayers (http://www.ronayers.com/index.cfm) or Honda Direct Line (http://www.hondadirectline.com/)

California Sport Touring is high on my list, especially if you want to talk total cash spent. Prices are reasonable and service is good.

:bow1: These guys speak ST11/13 because that's what they ride.
Kim and Bob are great folks to deal with and they are very fair.
What you need they probably have in stock.
First time I walked in the place I walked out much lighter.
They even had a Sargent in stock which I liberated.
The shop is in a huge warehouse and they let you use there tools and lift for self-serve installation. That's my kind of service.
Having them in my hood is very scarry for my budget :rolleyes:

I'd add Cycle Gadgets, California Scientific, Cycoactive.com, Adventure Motostuff..amotostuff.com, Motorcyclelarry.com, davidsilverspares.co.uk (English stuff)
Also try groups.msn.com/ST1300US and Sport-Touring.net to see if they might have additional leads.

California Sport Touring are number one in my book. They know the bike and go all out to be helpful. Thye even double-shipped me a topbox when the first one was held up by UPS so that I'd get it in time for a trip. The prices are fair, too.
