Just brought home a new to me 2004 ST1300 with 17,000 miles on the clock.
Seller had a couple of pictures on the internet of the bike but it isn't until you see it in person and you realize all the little things that no one lists.
Like virtually brand new tires (couldn't tell from the pics)...
Genmar risers...
plug in for electric accessories...
Throttlemeister throttle lock.
I get a kick out of buying those items because they improve the overall ride but it sure is nice after buying a used bike (and spending more than I planned) to not have to spend money on those items and put the money in the tank and ride.
I am hoping the Iowa Sherriffs Association Decal on the back fender brings me good luck.
Should I leave it on there hoping it would get me out of a ticket?

You never know! It just might work!
You won't get too many tickets anyway, most of the time the reaction to your passing will be "What was that !? , Oh well doesn't matter it was just a blur"
