Heyrul^77,

 

those metal box can be found from industrial related source, not too difficult to mount it on with simple 'home made' brackets or drill 4 holes from the box & directly screw it on. if it's practical & economical y not.

Bro,

Where is the place exactly...maybe if i am free i can drop by and reccee.

Thanks alot bro!

hi Heyrul^77,

 

my apology to confuse u....

 

what I meant was u can choose any metal box of ur choice & it can be installed simply by drilling 4 holes according to the screws' position of rear handrest top surface.

 

longer screws can be easily purchased from any professional hardware shop dealing with screws, bolts, nuts & etc..... simply sample the size to them & tell them how much length u needed, that's it..

 

I raise up the bracket height by couple of mm with a bolt to prevent it from sticking contact onto the rubber surface of the handrest inorder to maximise it's efficiency, so far so good.

 

fyi, I didnt install metal box hor, Im using a small CMI(cannot make it) topbox.

I happened to be at Boon Siew recently to check out STX and I asked about the price of back rest. Shockingly, I was quote price of $470. One bike shop owner told me it used to cost around $200 before stock ran out.

Upgrading to STX? Have the price gone down? I am considering a change to STX or a scooter...

 

BTW, I am looking for the RHS saddle of ST11. If any member in here know where I can get one, please PM me...

sorry to disturb, May i know now ST11 cost how much?

 

Cost will depend on year manufactured and condition of bike. Do note that condition of bike is more important than price. Hope that helps.

Not upgrading lah. I have not even really put good mileage on my ST.

 

Recently my radiator giving me some problem and was around Boon Siew. Did my own small little repair using their parking space in front of their workshop. Asked for some water to fill my radiator and was greeded with black face lor. After that itchy backside and ask about the price of STX. I was quoted $26.8k OTR plus $100 for retaining of registration plate. Tempting right?

Hi guys,

 

I am considering to buy an ST and have looked at a few units. I am still not sure how do I see that the bike is in good condition.

 

May I ask each of you to give me your kind opinion on those important things you would look at?

 

Many thanks!

I assure you that we will be more than willing to share our experience. Friend of mine and myself have benefitted from their sharing of knowledge and have been happy with our ST.

Pretty tempting! And relatively cheap to retain registration plate!

 

FYI... My friend was offered $27K at Mah...

I am not a guru to advice.

 

However, it is a good start if you know the owner of the bike. Else, you'll need find the right 'expert' here to help you.

 

Getting ST is a wise choice...

Hi,all along Blackbird or ST11 is my dream bike.

Lately,one of my quite close Malay colleague's fren offer to sell me his white ST11.FQ plate and COE till June 2008.

His bike is very stock and no other mod. Engine sound goods and I suppose he would not lie to me.

He owned that bike for 4 years plus and that time he bought it for $13K.

I am asking you guys ST11 expert views of the price,certainly I know ST11 engine is long lasting with proper care.

Thanks.

(D0 pardon me to post a similar thread at garage section as I am looking forward for prompt response,thanks)

Hi, i am thinking of riding a ST1300, probably a 2nd hand one, would appreciate some advice on price plus any + or - comments, thks,

[victor_03]

I am new to ST11. When I dragged 1st gear, and then up to 2nd gear, there seems to be some grinding gear sound, even though i have clutch in fully. The bitting point is more close to the point when the lever is fully released. I only encountered this sound and feeling from 1st to 2nd gear only.

 

And when i almost come to complete stop, I got the grinding gear sound when i kicked down to 1st gear.

 

Is it norm? It seems like the gears "has break into pieces" kind of feeling.

victor_03,

 

not sure what sound was that.

 

for ur abnormal close bitting point, check ur clutch fluid reservor if it's low level or empty, top it up if it does, keep filling & pumping in until u get it stifften. or if it's mud-dirty, replace the whole content in it. use only DOT 4 brake fluid.

 

there might be possiblity of corroded oil seal within the pump-kit or slave pump unit.

Hi, Simon
