I have been contemplating picking up second ST1300 and set it up for long distance riding and leave my 2005 ST1300 for commuting.
After watching different auctions and that, I was a bit discouraged with what I saw out there and the prices the bikes were going for.
Last Week my older son sent me a link to a Craig's Listing of a wrecked 2004. It was sitting at a tow yard and the guy was asking $4,200. I had him send me pictures of it and after evaluating the pics, I told him that there was at least $3,000 worth of damage.
He came back with a $3,400. Hum... I had to take a look at it.
After arranging the $$$, I went and looked at it this morning. Brought it home on the trailer.
Here is a list of things I found out so far:
Center Stand - Bent -
Left MUFFLER - Totally wiped out - (Already have a scratched one, but will do for now)
Left lower Cowl- Totally wiped out - (Already have RED, will paint)
Left Bottom Cowl - Totally wiped out - (Already have slightly damaged one)
Left Mirror- Totally wiped out -
Left TURN SIGNAL ASSY.- Gone -
Left Mirror COVER - Gone -
Left ENGINE GUARD Cover - Totally wiped out -
Left Engine Guard- Bent and mostly wiped out -
Left Step - bent and broken
Left Header - Bent - Wiped out
Left Valve Cover - Scratched
Left saddle Bag Lid - Scratched - Paint
Left Pocket Cover - Broken (Already have)
Left Pocket Lid - Broken
Rear Rim bent (Fixable)
Shifter -Bent - (Already have)
Upper Cowl Stay - Bent
Upper Cowl - Cracked and broken (Already have RED one, will paint)
Upper Cowl Cover- Broken
