Wanted: Pictures ST1300 w/o bags & wallpaper

[ekcwmi]

Does anyone have a picture of a 04/05 without the bags attached?

I also would like a wallpaper of the 06 ST1300. I know they are available from Hondanews.com but I don't have a press credintials. Anyone have access that could help me out. I am looking for a higher res picture to see if I like the new one or if I should keep looking for a "leftover".

Thanks
Keith

Heres some of my bike, I believe I was the first one that came up with the idea of removing the rear fender last year, the side panels are from the uk :cool:

It looks like both mufflers are down.

No offense Wired, but I personally think the bike looks aesthetically unbalanced without the bags. I've tried to like the side panels, but I just can't. I also can't give up the functionality of the bags. Just my two pennies.

I think if you see a bike like this one in person you would like it better plus you can switch back to bags in about 2 mins ....I do it all the time when I have to run to the store or drop my daughter somewhere....its like having a bike with two personalities.....the look to me is as important as the function because of the way it makes you feel inside, the bike feels alot lighter with the bags and the stock pipes off (alot different!)more like a big sport bike insted of the old "that looks like a beemer" thing......I guess what Im saying is it lets me get a little more enjoyment of an already great machine :cool:.................................one other thing just came to mind take a good look at a black bird you might be surprised at what you see :rolleyes:

I have to agree with Kingprawn on this one. 'Less is more', but I feel you can strip some of the character away when you go too far. Just my opinion. Each to their own [that's what makes us individuals].

And I see a nice set of Pilot Roads on the bike too. ;)

Only thing left to say is I think this thread was for the more sport then touring riders .........I personally like enjoying both sides of my machine....windshield up, bags on, restrictors in , and two up.......or on other days windshield down bags off , side panels on, restrictors out , one up , and fun here I come..... :cool: .......................plus I thought leo's like to roar.. :razz:
