Hi Frank,
I've got panniers for both bikes thanks.

I was planning to get an SS as a second, low tech, easy maintenance bike and just use the st for touring, but then the Senna came along and my plan changed...
I'm now going to keep the old st for fun, as ive had it for 10 years, ridden it to wdw 3 times and it really owes me nothing.

I plan to work on the Senna over the winter and use that for touring instead.

One thing has already become apparent though; the build quality of the old bike is far superior. Fairing and engine paint so far.

Apart from the normal service items, I'm after a dark grey Baglux tank cover (mine has a light grey one, which looks odd) a k&n filter and open exhausts.

I'd also like to explore the fitment of an ohlins fork with associated calipers at some point.

I'd be interested to know how many of the grey varieties were sent to the UK.

Any ideas?

G.

Hi Gary,

disappointing that the later quality is poorer. Ive always fancied an ABS model but I guess that will have to wait.

My Baglux cover came 2nd hand of eBay, never seen another like it. Can be a pain if you only need to lift the tank but I like it.

Pretty sure the filter is the same dimensions on the early ST's as on the SS. Well, my K+N fitted fine from my SS. I have a spare square K+N if you want to save a few quid

Ohlins forks have been done and look lovely (pic) but no need really, I got mine rebuilt with Gold Valves and they are nearly as good, 4-pad calipers are a nice easy upgrade however, yes, I have a spare set too
