Hmmm, just had a need to use the tools in Honda's ST1300 tool kit. I had a 2005, so foolish me, assumed the same type of tool kit would be in the 2006. But alas I was wrong. In another customer relations coup d'?tat, Honda apparently decided that a piece of foam, a plastic pouch and one allen key gets the job done and meets customer's expectations. (other posts indicate this is the current tool kit)
This must be from the same crack team that decided that the saddlebag restrainer straps that came standard in the ST1100 were not needed in the ST1300. And the same folks that decided when a customer buys the rubber side air deflectors for around $200, and the push pins break, not to have them available unless a person buys a new kit.
"News dated June 15, 2009: Honda sold 320,000 units to North America ? the U.S., Canada and Mexico ? in its recently ended fiscal year, down from 453,000 units in the previous year.

Honda has one of the larger sales losses in the powersports industry this last quarter. Has Honda's level of customer service helped or hindered their recent sales figures? Not for me to say.
