ST1300 as 2nd bike ?

[bflint]

I think you'll find that the CB will become the 2nd bike, as a sport touring bike is a more capable bike.
I love the charm of my CB, but it won't ever take the place of my sport touring FJR.
It'll happen... just wait......

Hey Sparky80 .. Not gonna happen kiddo. Married to the CB1100; ST1300 is just the girlfriend.

Hopefully you checked and are happy with the clutch operation. Heard from a few guys that dropping the engine is needed to replace the slave cylinder, unless you have some special tools and have very small hands.

Hey Sparky80 ... ST1300 operation is just fine! My ST1300 mech (and mech for police pool of ST1300s) told me these things are indestructable and that my 29K mileage ST1300 will out last me. He said that the strange thing is that (a) the radiators sometimes leak at the top seem ... not real common and (b) I have to change all the fluids on schedule because the ST1300 is not a forgiving bike in regards to fluids not being change frequently).

I would suggest you join this site: https://www.st-owners.com/forums/

The tech articles they have are insane. Also, member igofar is the ST whisperer. He is a genius ST mech. There is much knowledge there. Ferret is a member. So am I, but don’t post much.

Thanks ... I am already there (with one whole post as bflint.
