What did you do with your ST1100/ST1300 today?

Gave my ST a big hug. Too cold to ride. The pups were peeing ice cubes this morning!
Went to my kids highschool parking lot after hours and practiced u-turning. Getting better at it, but not as good as the pros yet.

Joe, you what? Oh well, welcome to the world of computers! After Bill and I spent three days worth of work on the 2004#2, I rode it in today to give a good shake out ride! It did great. Still a whiff of coolant, but it's not on the ground, so...
I'll probably ride it in tomorrow also, and then once Bill gets his permit from Nevada, I'll turn it over to him.
You'll know you're good when you can turn a figure eight inside the H-shaped space of four parking spaces.
Tell us about your HUD.

Replaced the original turn signal relay for incandescent bulbs with the one compatible for LED from SuperBrigntLEDs. Plug&Play and works well.

Got in some good coffee at our favorite Coffee House. 67 degrees. This weekend.....5-7 in. of snow, a hi of 34 degrees. Yeah.....we live in Missouri !
Did the same on mine about a week ago. Perfect! Gotta get those blasted marker bulbs changed out to LEDs next. Found these pliers that were recommended from a Honda mech. Hope they work!Replaced the original turn signal relay for incandescent bulbs with the one compatible for LED from SuperBrigntLEDs. Plug&Play and works well.

Tell us about that Head's Up Display: Who makes it, what information does it display (besides the time), and have you found it to be useful?

I haven't found really yellow (not amber) LED replacements for the position bulbs. I put in some yellowish incandescents to bring out the blue in the headlights. LOLATA said:
Position lights are yellower than they appear
A couple of points – squeezing the rubber socket too hard when trying to remove or reinstall it may squirt the bulb into the headlight assembly.
Seating the bulb too deeply into the rubber socket will cause it not to illuminate. You'll have to pull it out slightly for the contacts to line up. Check this after putting the LEDs in the socketsbut before putting the sockets back into the fairing.

Found I have a coolant leak so simple maintenance day is turning into extended stay. Picked up a HF loft off CL last night so I am fully enjoying not laying on the floor.

I think you could squeeze something else in there, you're just not trying.
With regards to your twistie turnie practice, BE CAREFUL. Just saying.
