Traded in my Kawasaki cruiser for a 2012 St1300 2 days ago. Put 400 miles on it so far. LOVE IT!
Favorite feature - the adjustable windshield. Have been able to find the "sweet spot" regardless of wind direction and velocity. Overall the power, smoothness, braking, and handling are excellent.
The only "must do" mod so far is to put a handlebar riser on it. I am 5'8" and am slightly uncomfortable with leaning too far forward with the weight on my hands. Think I will go with the MCL or HELI gen III risers, any input as to which is better would be appreciated.
Stock seat - so far seems adequate. But my longest time in the saddle has been 2 hours. An all day trip will bring in the verdict on the seat.
I live in Melbourne Beach, FL - if you are close by (60 miles or less) and have either the MCL or HELI gen III risers installed, would like to see your setup. Also - if you have done the Spencer seat mod or have another after market seat, would like to see those as well. Please call or email me - 321-698-3827. Gary@xcelsoftinc.com.
