Looked at this today: https://www.kijiji.ca/v-sport-touring/victoria-bc/2005-honda-st1300-a-4995/1291058039?utm_campaign=socialbuttons&utm_content=app_ios&utm_medium=social&utm_source=sms

And bought it.
Ultra clean and meticulously maintained by a fastidious owner.

Welcome from Cleveland, OH!

DavidR8 · Sep 2, 2017

Just back from a leisurely ride. Not far but long enough to know that we made a great choice. My lady is super comfortable though the pillion peg extenders have to go.

Such an agile bike on the fabulous roads we have on Vancouver Island.
Going to take a bit to get used to the clutch as it seems to engage at the end of the lever travel.

And I managed to maneuver around on our gravel driveway without a problem!

That was a good buy.
Look forward to a report on the Calsi windscreen vs the OEM please.

Nice...!

If I get down to VI, hope you can get away for a ride. That's a great deal you made there it appears. Congrats!

I can tell you that that CalSci screen is much bigger than the stock.
The previous owner said it's so quiet there's no need for intercoms.

Beauty eh? Well done.

About the clutch travel/engagementâ€” every hydraulic-clutched Honda I've had did the same thing. If you don't adapt and overcome you can always improvise. For the ST I got adjustable clutch/brake levers and that works well enough. Works even better if you have fairly stock grips. There are VFR levers and GoldWing (with slight modding) that will work.

I'll add that I left the brake lever stock as the Pindle Parking Brake doesn't fit the adjustable brake lever.

Before I adjust the clutch I would make sure I change the clutch fluid.

Took me a bit to get used to the clutch as well. Time to load it up and see the roads over here!
STOCtoberfest in a few weeks, or maybe NEW-STOCK (NorthEast Wa) next spring? Would love to ride with you.

Congrats!!!

(I may be old... :think1:
