Remove the rear fender and go up from underneath.how do you change the tail/brakelight bulbs on the st 1300 ?
Prop rod to hold the upper gas tank in the up position when doing maintenance underneath the tank.does anyone know what this is for?
Rear indicator bulbs are accessed from under the rear pillion seat. They are down on each side - you will need a good flashlight and very small, strong hands. Bite your tongue while removing these lest you utter a blasphemous oath. Once you get any of these loose, I suggest you put a dab of silicone grease (not regular grease which attacks rubber) on the o-ring before you replace the lamp in its socket. This will make removing the lampholder that much easier next time. Turn each one counterclockwise maybe 1/8 to 1/4 turn.how do you change the tail/brakelight bulbs on the st 1300 ? also when looking under the back seat on the left side I noticed a silver rod that's about six inches long and bent on both ends. does anyone know what this is for? thanks
I didn't know you could get at the tail/brake light bulbs any other way.Just as Andrew described go at the bulbs from underneath, much easier.
You can't, we are just answering the same question different ways.I didn't know you could get at the tail/brake light bulbs any other way.

You're going to have to check with the authorities in Canada to determine if they are legal or not.Hi all: I have a question about brake and headlight modulators.
Are they legal?
i have been told by a dealer that the brake light unit is OK - but that the headlight unit will have every police officer around stopping you for a chat - even though they are NOT illegal.
Another dealer told told me today flat-out that the headlight units are illegal.
Any thoughts or info?
BTW - I live in Ontario Canada but I suspect the laws are similar elsewhere.
Take a look at the enclosed document. It should explain/show what you need.how do you change the tail/brakelight bulbs on the st 1300 ? also when looking under the back seat on the left side I noticed a silver rod that's about six inches long and bent on both ends. does anyone know what this is for? thanks
Here is a copy of the applicable Canadian vehicle regulations. See S7.9, and S7.9.4. (pages 41 - 42)Hi all: I have a question about brake and headlight modulators.

I don't know. However, the Signal Dynamics website shows this (For the Plug & Play Headlight Module): Please Note:Hi Soontobeone:
Many thanks for the CMVSS108 clip (which as stated based upon the US FMVSS). That is very interesting. Do you happen to know if the Signal Dynamics unit is compliant?
I had a headlight modulator on my ST years ago and I had a Harley rider pull over then come up to me in South Dakota stating he thought I was a cop. Not good. I also had way to many people pull up to me and say there was something wrong with my headlight. I don't miss the modulator and love my HID headlights.If everyone is pulling over for you as you drive down the road approaching traffic I'd say you are being seen. I'd also say that your modulator is having too great an effect. I have seen this in my community. I pulled over too.
