What happens if you disconnect the ambers, do the low beams come on? Were the ambers wired by a relay and do they have a separate switch or do they come on with the low beams?

I am so happy i got off i 40. I actually got cold this morning, which is nice since ive been sweating since chicago. Good to b in the hills again! Sitting next to my kid having lunch going to figure the lights and see if i can get on evans highway
The ambers were installed by your shop back in Boston, right?? Hope they didn't do something weird to your electrical system.
Both high and low beams have separate relays that energize the respective systems, its possible your low beam relay is acting up.

If it is easy to do, I'd unplug the ambers and see if that fixes the low beam problem.
In the middle of nowhere! I was pleasantly surprised. If I remember right, about 700' drop to the water.

Have i told you my ambers are totally bad assed? The knuckleheads pulled the wires so tight they loosened up every time i turned left. A easy fix, but i had to take the windshield and plastic off to get at it. The mechanic i mean...
Doing my traditional up wolf creek pass and am getting the bike ready for Taos tomorrow. Regrettably there is a totaled freighter just to the left of the run off. The smell of burning brakes is common up here.

Ha! The sun was rising fast and i had to hurry the shot. My kids, who correct me often, said i should have cropped it. A nice sunrise, but one of my poorer shots. If i had to camp at a drive thru, it would def b burger king.

Kept losing power and finally the bike quit on me. Of course, miles from cell or service
So, i took it all apart and replaced the gas filter with a tent pole repair tube (thanks joe!) and off i went. Bought two gas filters at napa and will be correcting things today.
My deepest thanks to the many riders that stopped to make sure i was ok.

So Mike, did the bike run fine after your fix? If not, I would suspect the fuel shutoff valve. There’s a very good Article on the bypass of the shutoff valve:

The ST 1100 has a fuel valve that is operated by vacuum from the engine. This valve has been known to fail, and like most failures, it won't happen in your driveway - odds are that it will happen when you are a long way from home. The valve usually doesn't fail abruptly and bring you to a...

Runs great! Must have grabbed a gulp of dirty gas. New filter is in and working well
Fantastic improvising with the tent pole. Glad you got it running again. Well done.
