  1. Thanks to all for your comments and suggestions. I have to take the kickstand off and have the bottom plate of the stand straighten ( it is slightly bent) before getting a bolt on pad. Now i just have to figure out how to fix the scratches on the left side pannier
  2. The bottom pad is bent up as the bike rolled over it. The rest of the kick stand is find. Now the bike leans over too much. Is it suppose to give a little as weight is put on it? I guess i could take to a machine shop and have that bottom pad bent back and get a wider pad. But my original question was, is there an aftermarket replacement?
  3. Thanks for responding. It was sitting a concrete pad by the gas pump. I just stepped on the left peg and by the time i hade my foot over, it just started to lean too much and over it went. After getting it back upright (with help from the store attendant), the bottom section was bent just enough that it would not hold the bike up. I now have to get off and use the center stand. I always thought it was a little sketchy stepping on the pegs this way but this is the first time this happened. I am now in the process of finding a replacement.
  4. Yesterday, after i filled up the tank, i went to get on and the bike tipped over. I have always stood on the pegs to get my leg over the seat but this time, i thought the lean was too much when i set it but I did it anyway. So now , the left side bag is scraped along as small scrap on the upper fairing. Is there an aftermarket side stand that you would recommend?
  5. Rear brake light is the one I ‘hot’ wired wrong. I checked all the fuses in that box and all are good. I rode the bike yesterday to the golf course and back (10 miles each way) and no issues.
  6. I was wiring a brake light for my golf club carrier and connected hot to ground. All the lights went out. Disconnected the new brake light, replaced the fuses and the lights are now working. But the check engine light came on once i started the engine.
  7. I blew 2 fuses. The 1 amp and 7.5 amp fuse behind the right side faring. Now the check engine light is on. How do I clear that?
  8. I have a top case with a brake light that I used posi-taps and that works great. I also have a golf club carrier that has a brake light on it. I want to be able to switch between the 2 and thought a pig tail would make it easier to switch. thanks for the feedback.
  9. Does anyone make a pigtail to tap into the rear brake light connection under the rear seat?
  10. Thanks to all. Switched the RED with the BLUE and all working now. Woo Hoo!
  11. I looked at the instructions included in the box. You are right. the online documentation is different. I will try it this afternoon. Thanks.
  12. I used this as my connections: 5 wire harness to motorcycle; BLUE to +12V (switched) (Blue in tail light harness) RED to Brake Light Wire (Yellow in tail light harness) GREEN to Right Turn Signal (Green) YELLOW to Left Turn Signal (Brown) BLACK to ground (Black in the tail light harness)
  13. thanks for responding. The instructions are worthless. I am figuring the wiring as i go. I don’t think I have the right wires tapped. I have the yellow wire from the bunch that goes to the brake light tapped right. I have the ground wire that I tapped correct. Just need to figure out the running light and the turn signals. These are the wires I have tapped
  14. I just received the kit. I have brake lights working. The running lights flash momentarily when I turn the key on but don't stay on. the turn signals are not working at all. I need help. Thanks for any feedback
  15. Unfortunately, the dealer doesn't have 1 in stock so I am down for 2 days at least.😭 Again, thanks for the help.
  16. I checked the 50A fuse near the battery and yes, it was blown. thanks. Now I have to find a replacement.
  17. I just installed the connections for a trickle charger. I got the leads installed directly to the battery terminals. Buttoned it all up and now it won't start. I turn the key to on and nothing, no lights, TFT screen is blank. nothing. Any help would be appreciated.
  18. Yes, we have met. I am the BigBrownsFan on the ST-Owners site. I will be attending the OH-STOC.
  19. I am finally picking up my new bike this Thursday. I was tying to sell my current bike, but no offers came thru. Then winter happened. I was not getting any bites, so I decided to almost give it to the dealer in trade.
  20. I am a new member that is going to replace my ST1300 with the 2019 Tracer 900 GT whenever a local dealer can get one. The last one I contacted mentioned a production slow down. They have several on order but have not received a shipping date. I look forward to many discussions on this forum. Also, is there a way to change the color of the forum. I find the black background is difficult for me to read.
