I totally agree. Had the same filling short after I bought mine. Tubular bars new saddle and triumph touring screen is the way to go.

Hey Derek....
Having had the same 'crisis of faith', I finally resolved on this solution. First. $1000 is far less than $12,000 for an ST1300 or FJR1300. Second, you don't put enough annual miles to warrant that kind of bike. Third, a new seat and bar risers, and maybe a different windscreen will make your trusted bike exactly what you want. (See the $1000 < $12,000 statement above).
Just my 2 cents...
<...After 2k miles on my 2000 ST last week (which may not be alot for some of you, but I only average 10k a year on two wheels), I realized that I want aor bite the bullet, cough up the money, and get a bike I think I will be pleased with for years to come.
P.S. If I keep my current ride, it will need between $500 and $1,000 in maintenance and replacement parts. Should I put this money into a new bike and sell this one before it depreciates any more, or should I just keep what I have.
