RE: [ST] Hard bags (Panniers) worth it?

Scott & gang,

I'm a newcomer, too.  I bought my ST in September 2001 and the three bag
kit was a huge factor.  At the time, I found the ST1100 and nearly all
BMWs with available hard luggage.  Never much cared for the ST1100 and
all of BMWs luggage is black and not very flattering to the bike.  I had
two previous bikes with no storage whatsoever and will (probably) not go
that route again.  The final straw for me was finding a Brit bike in
British Racing Green.  Had to have it.

Subject: [ST] Hard bags (Panniers) worth it?


After owning my 01 ST for 4 days now, I've ordered the seat cowl, the CF
slip on and the tank bag.  But at $1000USD I'm holding off on the hard
bags
until a long trip.    My question to all you owners: did you get the
hard
bags for your bike right away, or did some of you purchase softbags
instead? If you did get the hard bags, how do you like them (aka - are
they worth a thousand bucks..)?

Also, while I've got your attention, I noticed on my second ride that
the fuel injection buzzer stayed on for about 5-10 minutes into the
ride.  My dealer said this may go away during break in but that there
also was an update to fix it.  Is this a common thing? (sorry if this is
in the archives already). 

Cheers,

Scott
