Is there anything about your bike that does your head in?
Discussion
One of the things I love about my Aprilia is that the fairings are held on with proper screws and quarter turn fasteners, none of this plastic rivet rubbish.
I sympathise with the Benelli owner, my mate has one and the steering lock is pure comedy but after curing all the factory fitted defects this is a minor detail, he loves the Tornado and prefers it to his MV Agusta.

Any bike: these center-push plastic screws.
There's a special place in hell for whoever invented those.

My 'Blade had some that held in the fairing infil panels panels in place, what a complete ballache, it reminded me why I like naked bikes.

K1300S:
Why cant I have tyre pressures and range on the digital dash at the same time? Or time and range? Why only one thing at a time I have to scroll through?
Steering lock is positively Queen Mary 2'nd in size.
Harley VRod Night Rod Special:
Burnt RH calf if you get it too close to exhaust header
When fuel tank is full, needle disappears into the surround
Triumph Bonnie SE:
why have the key dangling down there on the forks?

Does the 1300 have a high speed wobble? I thought that was an 1100 thing.
I can't imagine an ST1100 shaking its head, never mind getting into a speed wobble. It's a long, low, slow steering old barge. When the ST1300 was introduced there were reports of a high speed wobble. ISTR Honda re-torqued the engine mount bolts in an attempt to cure it. To be fair, the biggest issue was with police bikes which were heavily laden with kit. So much so that at least two forces removed them from service and had the frames cut in half so that they couldn't be put back on the road. smack said:

I had to replace some on my Honda and couldn't find generics. £6.00 for two. Arses.

I thought it was only a 1300 thing. I understand that most Police forces were very happy with their 1100 Pans but were seriously disappointed with the 1300 replacements, hence very few (if any?) still using Pans.black-k1 said:
