I am 190cm tall and don't have small hands and I managed to change the position bulbs in less than 10 min like in 0:42 without even taking the mirror's covers. The right bulb is harder since there is a rigid pipe probably from the front brakes but still no trouble at all.

I followed your wiring and bam ....now I have orange LED turn signals on my 2006 ST1300 ....

anybody know where i can get this in the UK or what is it called?

Love it, great idea

It’s much easier if you attack the bulb from underneath between the forks there’s way more room and a lot less hassle.

I replaced my crappy oem bulbs with hids years ago. I-got tired of cage-drivers pulling out into me, or passing into my face. Now they cant say they didn’t see me. My riding partners always know where i am. My one complaint….i cant see the speedometer, not a problem really, i just installed an old nuvi gps on speed setting up above on my homemade shelf, with lots of plug-ins.

Make sure the led bulbs are directional beam as you will fail mot without it..I failed

Don't strip the front of the bike to change bulbs..go up from the bottom of the fering either side of the forks..turning the steering from full left then full right..3min bulb change...easy

I just changed mine you just reach up from the bottom not the top. Feel for the 2 little levers either side of the 3 pin plug. Give them a squeeze in and pull at the same time don’t use brute force. Then pull off rubber cover. Then push the looped part of retaining wire in and across which releases the bulb. Note which way the bulb is seated. Then reverse the procedure. There is no need to take anything apart to change the main bulb.

It's your health you're jeopardizing. If you can deal with the dust issues wearing a fresh air mask and reducing the dust coming towards you and your clothes fine including vacuuming the dust.

The stuff used to braze the two together is a silver compound. Usually 50% silver and then a mixture of other metals including copper, zinc, nickel. The copper and zinc being what makes brass giving it a light brass color. That is the weakest and least expensive of the ways to braze steel to carbide. If I see 2 or more similar products and some have that brass look and some don't, I choose the one that doesn't all else being equal.

still looking for led headlights for my ST1300. I used these Phillips lights but they burned out pretty fast.

I am an engineering teacher and TRY to get my students to do this kind of quality, but it is nearly impossible at the junior high level. Wonderful work! TIP: Edit the text at the end and spell SCRAP with an "r". :) attention to detail even in text.

I really want to go LED on headlight and peanut bulb , plus instrument cluster is pretty dimmed, how hard will be to remove the headlight assembly and instrument cluster ? Couldn’t find any videos ….

great vid shoot the bird

Is there an video of making floor

Thanks for that pal, I can change my bulbs now just subscribed to your channel, the fev rider.

A Haynes manual ?

sounds like Tim Allen 🤔

They make special blades to cut Hardie siding. I have one with over a thousand cuts on it finally need a new one. Just by the right blade for the job. Easy.

The blade died before the Rooster crowed. The sacrificial blade

I've been using regular wood cutting blades for sawing hebel aac blocks works great 👍

Great vid....would you use the same type bulb for both bulbs, high and low beam?

While I was working on my bike yesterday, my brother just reached up inside from the front without removing anything at all and changed the bulb.

Great idea.

Just completed this on my ST1300, great idea, thank you from the UK

Thx for the great teaching. I'm getting one of these real soon. Used to have a CBR1000F and miss it. Can't wait ; )

Been using 7 1/4 wood blades.. inconsistent sometimes but usually can get like 50+ cuts out of one.. I've had a few where I cut about 10ft worth and the blade was dull. I've never tried the fiber cement blades yet. Will see the quality of the brand soon tho. Hardie board and board&batten

Thnx for this video that saved me a some bucks

This is bad advice. You can use wood blades on fiber cement, but then you should wear a particulate respirator, or wait for a windy day. The fine dust can damage your lungs and the fiber cement blades make "ribbons" and less fine dust. The Freud fiber cement blade are trash though. Diablo is passable and easy to find where I am at least. The good blades (like malco or norske) are more expensive ($60-80) and usually harder to find, but you can use them every day for a month before they wear out.

I'll have it done and I'll buy the factory ones from the dealer

The special blade makes a thinner kerf which gives less dust.

What the fuck is wrong with you? Obnoxious.

not sure if this is why, but the 7 tooth blade pulls out bigger chunks. the others create more of a fine dust. breathing in the silica is really bad, so maybe it is a health reason?.

music is way too irritating to watch the whole video.

Hey I just came upon you, I'm about to cut some concrete fiber 3/4 trim board, you had me in stitches , Thanks for saving me the grief of finding a specific blade. I'll just do what you did, find and old blade and hack away......big thumbs Up!

Fuse box on a Honda st1300

It's been a couple of years since you did this mod, do you find the lights too bright at night? Anything you would do differently?

I hope this helps, you might try going from underneath the bulb at the front of the bike. It definitely made it easier for many parts of the operation

Thanks so much for filming and sharing. I finished right side, moving to left tomorrow 👍 clear, concise and a great solution to a real problem.....much respect

A very nice mod' with that, from-the-factory look. Nicely done. I have however known those connectors to fail, corrosion issues mainly. I favour solder and shrink tubing two tails with spade connectors/receptors to enable easy unplugging of the whole indicator unit. Fair play to you for your great solution, really neat job.

Lose the crowing!

I would walk away from the small boxes that pierce knifes into your tiny cables. It may be a good idea on some thicker cables in cars. Try follow the hot cable to a fuse or push the cable end inside the plug. On my Honda's I could not always hear the right moment to shift gear, being in traffic but there is an indication for that on most vehicles. The rev counter points in exactly the same direction as the speedometer does and at lowest or highest speed not. Look at this alignment ones and you just know when the moment is that you should or safely can assume to be able to shift up gear. One can even tell if the engine is high or low on revelations for the gear that you are in and gear indicators don't do that.

It looks like you are not done with your sheeting

Silly question maybe, I've got a blue pan European st1300 with no headlight on off switch on the right handle. Can you turn your headlight off? If so how? Thanks

Re: that self-cancelling turn signal point. When I bought my ST1300 one of the first things I noticed was that you had to manually turn off each signal. My previous bike was a 2003 Yamaha V-Max which had a similarly oriented button with self-cancelling feature. Has anyone tried comparing the V-Max and V65 Sabre switches to see if either one will install on the ST1300? Food for thought and a small project for one of us if we can make the time. Someone who works at a dealer handling Honda/Yamaha would be a good candidate for this.

I've used a 10 in avent finish blade for wood and made over 100 cuts on hardie siding on my ridgid miter saw and blade is perfectly in good cutting condition.

Do you have hwy pegs on there if so we’re did you get them I have 2003

Just changed my left one and found that by turning the steering to the left I could get a great grip on the plastic clip. I pressed both of the sides of the connector in (the widest span so pressing the shortest ends) and pulled and the connector came off. I tried it with the steering to the right but the suspension Stantion was in the way too much for me to grip the connector enough to press in the sides. Hope this is useful as I tried several ways of getting at it before this way worked. Also try reaching in backwards with you hand behind you as this may also work.
