1300 fairing

A set of notes about putting the fairing back onto the ST1300. It covers most of the fitting gotchas, which might otherwise catch you out and/or result in broken tags. Also lists all of the fasteners - photos, description,, part numbers, where they fit and why it matters. Very useful for...

I have installed the Honda Faring deflectors on my ST 1300. They work great and keep the heat off of you and they also look very nice IMHO! I had a problem with one of my inspection covers on the right side as it started coming loose on the top of the deflector. This happened when I was using...

A few people have emailed me recently wanting to know how I finished the mounting of the 08 side panels on my 05 ST1300. Sorry I couldn?t post earlier as I have been very busy with work. Here is an explanation and some pictures of how I made mounting plates for the 08 panels. I will note here...

Mike (Dorian) did an excellent write-up on the ST1300 Fairing Removal and gave me permission to post it here. Thanks Mike! Note: Since the site was down and links not working I attached the PDF files.

Here are some pics: If you have the Fairing Deflectors it looks like this, left arrow to the access panel and right arrow to the Maintenance Lid: Take a small object like a screwdriver and push the center of the push-pin in and you'll feel it 'pop'. Then, pull the push-pin out If you...
