1300 lighting

I've been wanting to add a small set of LED lights under my mirrors, but didn't want to spend the $100US for a set of the 3d printed ones. I've been looking at other options and today I found an easy and simple solution, most of it already installed on the motorcycle. With the mirror covers...

I put this video together while I had my bike torn apart. You have to do it blind and by feel, so this is nice to see what you’re actually doing. It’s an easy task once you know what you’re doing, but until then, it can be a struggle! Even the experienced bulb changers may appreciate this!

A Circuit Diagram showing the odd configuration of the ST1300 headlights, with some explanation. The circuit is taken from a UK 2009 ABS model - from 2004 headlamps are on all of the time, there is no light switch on the handlebar console. However, the UK spec models have a 'pass' switch to...

I picked up a ST1300 and wasn't happy with the headlight height. The adjuster knob was all the way up and they still didn't seem to shine "too far out there". After reading many of posts here on the subject there didn't seem to be an exact way to adjust them. Some people said do it this way and...

Hi all, Have been reading a lot of positive reviews recently on the LED / Switchback upgrade being done to the ST1300. Given were just about to see it getting darker earlier, i thought some additional lighting on the front couldn't be a bad thing, so invested in the switchback conversion kit...

I love to make my bike noticable. The more people see me, the less they hit me...I hope. Check with local and state laws regarding the ability to light your bike with different colors. I was happy to find out that this mod was not going to get me arrested. I want my bike to stand out so I...

I love this mod. Not only is it safety oriented, it looks spectacular! One of my biggest concerns has always been that I can be seen. Especially at night. And I have had my share of being cut off because someone didn't see my signal. So that is why I figured I would put the 3 LEDs in each...

The Headlight Adjusting motor can be replaced without removing all the bike parts that are described in the shop manual.I removed and replaced the motor in two hours including taking the pictures required for this article. However, I had removed it once before. This was to check the connector...

What I wanted: To see (both far ahead as well as to the side). For the lights to be stable, and not vibrate. For them to be tucked in close to the bike, rather than stick out to the top or sides. For the whole package to be inexpensive, attractive, and reliable. Background: I have used PAR36...

Just an easier to read headlight wiring diagram for the ST1300 (non P model) This is a copy of the Honda service manual, wiring diagram. It is wrong! The relay names are reversed and, the lamp filament positions are reversed. See post #22 for correct wiring and, additional information.
