I just received my Aux Fuel cell for my wing from Lincoln Seals and it's really high quality work. Based on the Firecreek design but made from aluminum rather than stainless it's a work of art. He's looking to expand his fabrication products and I suggested that the ST crowd is always trying to locate farkles that were made in the past but no longer available. He's open to the idea but is wondering if there is any market.

Would anyone here be interested in new items like these below? If we made a group buy he'd be up to making them. I'm sure he would also be willing to make an ST specific Fuel cell but there's probably less demand for that.

Discuss.

I made one of the ram ball mounts like the one here but only 2 balls... Got the idea from here and I love it. What are the 2 other do hickeys? If he's going to make something for the ST1300 crowd, highway pegs! Need those! I would like to have a set like the psrs but I have to wait to order and $350 a set? I wouldn't mind paying that but I don't want to have to wait several months for it. I am looking for a way to put some highway pegs on my St, I'm going with an idea I found on here and putting two generic pegs on a bracket mounted to the crash bars, but I would love a set of the PSR highway blades
 
Oh ok. I'd love a set of those as I build my St to a proper touring machine... I think a fuel tank that mounts to the givi plate and have attachment points for soft luggage will be great! I can keep my second seat and have a second fuel cell that can act as a luggage rack as well....!

I am interested in two sets of the under mirror light brackets but only if they are metal.

They would be aluminum. I would send mine to him as examples and he'd create them, so some amount of lead time.
 
I am not familiar enough with other accessories for motorcycles to know how those little round balls work for mounting things— although my phone mount came with one.

For both my ST 1300, which is now wrecked and in the junkyard, and my Honda shadow 1100 which I’m riding now, I have wanted a flat piece of metal or sturdy plastic that I could mount to my handlebar that will give me a place to mount switches switches for various electrical accessories not just lights but phone chargers and outlet for an air compressor tire pump etc.

Basically, i’d be interested in getting a rectangular strip of metal maybe 3 inches tall and 18 inches long if possible to sit somewhere and give me access to switches and display units dials gauges for engine monitoring instruments.

They are RAM balls, mounts to hold anything that has a RAM ball arm on it.
RAM sells dozens of different types of mounts, balls, arms, and accessories, to mount just about anything that you can think of.

Here is a link to their website;

Hi way pegs are very easy to mount, using the existing tipover bars and inexpensive hiway pegs. I have ridden several thousand miles with pegs I mounted myself with ease, which gives me a second leg position for comfort. It is really quite easy to do, and hundreds of $ less than $350.

It's been a long while since we spoke but if I remember correctly, you had a reserve fuel cell made to fit in place of your passenger seat and it had a pump to refuel your upper tank while still on the go.... Any chance we can get this gentleman to create something similar that mounts to the givi top box plate? With maybe an option with a back rest or screw holes to put a back rest... Just a thought....

I made this backrest with shelf for my wife since I didn't have time to order a topbox or the funds at the time(this was cheaper), it's made with steel... I don't have much experience with aluminum fab but I guess I could try something about the same dimensions but about 2 1/2 to 3 inches tall or somewhere in that vicinity... I do have a question, how are you able to plumb it into your upper tank?

Look forward to your reply thank you 😋

Not exactly. Here you see two fuel cells, a pelican case, and my custom pillion seat replacement part. The seat replacement (with the bear claw sticker) bolts to the bike and the top deck is hinged to open what I call the "tool box" where I keep air pump, tire repair, tool kit, spare battery (yes), jump pack, duct tape, etc. Bolted to the top of that is a 3.8 gal fuel cell. Rearward I have a givi mounting bracket with another 3.8 gallon fuel cell mounted onto and the Pelican on top of that.

Each fuel cell has a 5/16 line running to a shut off valve (other side of bike). After the shut offs the lines merge and go into an electric fuel pump designed for a big block chevy (I don't like waiting a long time for a refill). You could use the same pump as the bike uses and thus always have a spare with you. The pump is mounted under the tool box. From there the 5/16 fuel line runs to the inspection bolt atop the lower fuel tank. Nice of honda to provide a threaded inlet.

When the fuel guage is down to 3 bars I open one valve and start the pump. The pump pushes about a gallon a minute into the bike tank. Must remember to turn the pump off and close the valve. Later repeat the procedure with the second tank when back down to 3 bars.

Depending on conditions I can run about 500 miles without putting a foot on the ground.

That's awesome. Thanks for the reply. Any chance you can upload a few pictures of your custom replacement part for the pillion...? And a few pictures of how you have the second tank on the givi mount and your hose routing? Im trying to come up with a way to have a fuel cell on my givi plate and run wires and hose to fuel tank with on/off switch location.... And how to wire the fuel pump... With relay or without or just fused with on/off switch. I have a thunder box that protects my electrical and can run a pump power line off that.... And if you have any suggestions on how to do something better, I am open to advice. I'm also trying to picture your toolbox, is there any chance you could send pictures of how you have that fabricated. Because at this point if I'm going to be a single Rider I might build a box or fuel cell that covers the Gibby plate and the rear seat at the same time so it gives me a spot to mount a backrest similar to what you have on one of your two cells
