I have watched your videos PanEur and you have done a really great job with it. I myself have a 1991 museum-registered and I do enjoy driving it a lot. The power comes from the engine wonderfully when you ask.
Thank you very much, I appreciate this video is quite old now but it’s very good and helpful. I’m looking to buy a ST1100 and the ease of maintenance is a real plus for me. Your bike looks so much better after your hard work.
Wonderful video Panman. I just bought a 1997 ST1100 with only 30,000 miles on the clock. Tupperware is a bit scratched and I'm inspired to pull it off, buff out the deeper scratches and repaint it. Thanks!
That's a really helpful short walk through what must have been a long job. Great result and inspiring. I've just gone through my first year with a Pan and done some maintenance, repairs and painting. Maybe I need a little compressor and to get those wheels off and while I'm at it there's the front.......
I just bought pan today and this video is very helpful for me as condition of my bike is poor. I want to do similar job to my bike as bike is worth it...Thanks very much for your good job and video it. God bless.
very nice job, looks like a lot of work that, but they are such nice bikes to ride, i am planning the same on my '91. thanks for the video and some excellent tips in there.
Thank You Russ. Hope you're getting better and I know you're hand hurts, but I'm gonna be too busy putting a new clutch in to work on yours! (Remember me stalling it in another video due to clutch grab?)
Great job, yes enjoyed your slideshow very much. In fact you have a super channel here, glad I subscribed! Off to catch up on the rest of your posts! Peter :-)
nicely done,my st 1100 s reg wineberry red, love the bike cam , thats what im getting next,i might catch few dopey drivers around milton keynes, keep it up from one panman to another
Eight years later, and I'm just seeing this now. I have a '96 that's been sitting for along time. This was just the motivation I needed to get her back on the road. How has yours held up since this video?
Whew! I hope you got a bargain on a bike needing that much work. I bought mine for $2400 US (1988 British Pounds), and it was in excellent condition after adding $400 for new rubber (good tread, but they were old).
I can't remember how much I paid for it, but I know it was a very reasonable price. I did eventually sell it for more than I bought it for, but probably at an overall loss. Had some good times on it, so can't complain.
Tidy work 👍 I take it you sprayed the body work yourself as well? I have a repair to do to my topbox and will probably rattle can it, rather than getting the compressor out
+Fergus Stevenson It wasn't a complete respray. I touched in the scratches with basecoat and a fine artist brush then sprayed clear lacquer over the top. Some bits don't stand up to close expert scrutiny, but it looks pretty good on the whole. If using a spray can, my advice is to get a colour match from your local auto paint specialist and they can probably prepare a spray can for you. Their cans are usually better nozzles than the average shop... and get a primer and lacquer suitable for plastic.
Nice work PanMan. Looks great! I understand that this vid is almost 2 yrs old. I have a `91 1100 that I just aquired, with the understanding that the rear brake pads will need to be replaced. Seriously looking for a tutorial, with no luck. Any tips? Bike looks great. Would love to know how it sounds with those mufflers! All the best, Scott in Ohio
Hi great job,question for you, who did the paint job pls? Was yourself or ? If yes could you pls name ,recommend any of your paint purchased from ,or the name who makes the paint(can) Thank you
Thanks. The black bits on the side panels - originally I made some padded pieces to stick on but one fell off! The pics at the end show some self-adhesive door sill protector for cars that I cut to shape. Recently, I bought some rubber strips (ebay item 260727380465) for £6.00. Two strips either side fit the width perfectly and just need the bottom trimming off. I've seen them on another Pan - looks good and more of a cushion for the knees.
Hello, just bought a second hand Pan. First ride I noticed there ear brake sticking. Took the pads out and one was mounted incorrectly into the groove.. I've got some unopened unused pads with it but no way to identify back or front pads. Are they the same do you know? Or are the rear ones thicker? Cheers.
I'm 99.9% sure the rears are thicker. Pistons then further inside bores = less sticking. I bought genuine Honda rear pads that came with correct spacers & stuff (aftermarket don't). I also used Carlube Silicone Multi-purpose grease (ebay & good motor shops) everywhere copper grease or other grease used on brakes. Doesn't dry out, cleaner, and multiple uses.
hi i live round the corner. my pan is a cat b write off. How big of a job is replacing the chasis. i love the bike and don't want to scrap it. Any idea on how much commitment it would be i greatly appreciate it
Hi, The best place for st1100 parts in the North West is Village bikes near Chorley. He used to specialise in breaking Pans and should have any parts you may need. If your frame is gone, you could rebuild with another but it will have to be re-registered as the frame is the bit that DVLA records the numbers from. I sold my Pan a couple of years ago.
I doubt it. I have limited movement in my right knee - it doesn't bend as much as a normal knee. I'm 6' 3" and can just about manage the standard seat for a short while, but the raised seat is more comfortable for my bad knee.

lovely job, especially like the little touches like the calipers and the centres of the discs
Great video. Good to see the details of how to get a tired bike back to its best!
Great job. I just finished renovating wheels on my partner's Piaggio X9 and the feeling of satisfaction when you put it back together is immense :-)
Hey Panman. Nice refurbishment for a nice bike. Well done.
Its a bike that deserves this level of work,enjoy
very nice job, looks like a lot of work that, but they are such nice bikes to ride, i am planning the same on my '91. thanks for the video and some excellent tips in there.
Very fricking impressive job, great work SIR.
Fantastic work mate about to get one here in USA! Here st 1100
Well done fella. Good work. I have had similar experiences with my Suzuki SV650 !!
Cosmetically so much better now.
Beautifully stunning 💯I have a 1991 model 60k miles paid 1,500 smooth rider.
Great video,job well done.i use to have a pan,cracking bike a little heavy,but great ride cheers.
Thank You Russ. Hope you're getting better and I know you're hand hurts, but I'm gonna be too busy putting a new clutch in to work on yours! (Remember me stalling it in another video due to clutch grab?)

Very nice. Thanks for the video.
nice effect put in! impressive!
Most entertaining my man...great work...of course the only two questions are,how much? And how long?
Good job, I have one myself, same colour too.
Eight years later, and I'm just seeing this now. I have a '96 that's been sitting for along time. This was just the motivation I needed to get her back on the road. How has yours held up since this video?
I sold it a few years ago, but I believe it's still taxed and tested somewhere, so must still be roadworthy.
Hi nice video answers alot of my questions. Only one i have is do you remember what the rear cans are off?
Thanks.
Very good job, great vidio too

Hi great job,question for you, who did the paint job pls? Was yourself or ? If yes could you pls name ,recommend any of your paint purchased from ,or the name who makes the paint(can)
Thank you
funkgrup I did the paint job myself. A local firm mixed and matched the paint for me.
Wow, Much braver than I am at the moment lol

can you do a video on removal of front fairing? i need to replace the frame.
Sorry, sold the bike about a year ago.
That was great to see. Nice job... (do mine) lol
Great job , would pay you to overhaul my 98 st1100aw.
Hi Raised the seat? I am 6ft 2 will I need to raise the seat?
I doubt it. I have limited movement in my right knee - it doesn't bend as much as a normal knee. I'm 6' 3" and can just about manage the standard seat for a short while, but the raised seat is more comfortable for my bad knee.
6' 3" with a bad right knee.
