I added a dual zone Heat Troller to the ST-S today. I like to control the gloves separate from the jacket. I also added waterproof plugs for both with it. I used a relay so this would shut off with the key.

Jim,

You have demonstrated, once again, that there ain't nothin' that you can't improve upon! Congratulations, and let the mods continue!

Wow, that looks great. You did a great job painting the saddlebags. I can't wait to see it in person.

Thanks Rick! I have many limitations, but trying something I have never done before isn't one of them. :lol:

It may be spring. Dina isn't fond of the cold like I am.

Having no idea what the service history is on my wife's bike I decided to play it safe and change the oil and filters on her ST. Oddly, at 2K miles, there was a fairly significant leak in what appears to be coming from the drain on the tank. I'll keep an eye on it and see if it comes back.

I did manage to change both drain plugs, with new washers, and using a torque wrench without breaking either of them. I must be incredibly lucky! :wings
