My daughter just bought this 1998 ST1100 and the engine guards are different than the ones on my 91. What is the purpose of the long tube?

No idea Bill. Does it look like part of the actual guard (same tubing and welds)? What is the left hand end connected to?

Maybe the reminats of a crash bars....was this a police mc? As others have noted, whatever it was the execution looks to of been well done!

The welds appear to be factory.

Looks like a chain drive. Definitely not an ST1100. Nice looking girl

That's not a rocket launcher.

Now those... THOSE are rocket launchers.

Shame they destroyed that bike by driving it off a cliff. Always loved the appearance of BSA's.
How do you know when a BSA (or Triumph) is low on oil? When the leaking stops.
