Handlebar cowling

That looks like an early 1100. It would use the three piece cover, as opposed to the two piece of the later years.
Not sure what all those metal straps are. Maybe the 'framework/brackets' of the cover. If that's the case, just take em off.
First thing I did to my 1100's was to remove that big hunk of plastic cover. There's enough plastic on the rest of the bike.

As Dean said, based on the year. That 'stuff' under the handlebars appears to be add. Any chance it was PLOD bike before you got it?

Not that I am aware of - but then I only have 97s and an 02.
That is correct. That is what I tried to say.
I have a 1990 ST and that is the same as what you have in the photo. As stated, there are three plastic pieces that comprise the bar covers.
The large rectangular plate under the bars is correct, the four small brackets bolted onto that are not stock parts. The stock left and right parts bolt into those holes directly, then the centre part drops in, uses a hook over the wire that runs in front of the ignition, presses into the plastic socket, and then connects to the left and right parts with screws.

+1 to Dean's statement. IMO, that cover is not only fugly and distracts from rest of bike, but if tried to be used with risers, good luck getting key into ignition
.
They look like they were added to hold some gear like a radio or something. Had it been a police bike there are a few radio control heads that would fit in that area.TerryS said:
