The rear wheel rubbers/dampers are kinda expensive when you need to order 5 of each from Honda.
Anybody know of a more reasonable alternative?
 
Those don't look like what I remember. But memory fades fast....OOPs, @DeanR has an 1100, I've only seen 1300 dampers.
 
Well, I'm mulling over giving a GL1500 set (P/N 06410MBH000) a try...
Their shape/dimensions appear identically, plus have the aluminum bushings already inserted, possible even vulcanized...
And they come for like € 80,-... the set, all five, including those inserts... :unsure:
(5x 41241MT3003 + 5x 41242MR5000 for the ST1100 will cost me € 186,-... )

Also ze GF's NT700VA uses hub dampers and bushings of same design and size as the ST1100... fully interchangeable, only reversed as the f/drive of her Deauville is on the port side...
(06410MZ0A00 damper set wheel + 5x 41242MR5000 aluminum insert for the NT come for € 168,60,- ... the rubbers are visually identical to the ST parts...)
Only the Shore rating of the rubber might differ, vehicle weight/loads...
I used aftermarket hub dampers in the past, felt a bit softer, wore faster then the OEM ones...
