VOLUME 59 ISSUE 21 MAY 24, 2022 P97
Harley produces a 10-inch
light smoke screen that might
solve this problem as part
of their massive 820 parts
accessory catalog for $200,
but our test bikes were not
equipped with any accesso-
ries other than the Rockford
Fosgate system.
The fairing comes with
three slots to increase airflow,
but these are non-adjustable,
and the odd placement of the
center vent combined with
the slightly too low screen
for my six-foot frame gave an
odd double buffeting effect
on my Arai. If these vents
were closeable, it would at
least give the rider the option
of tailoring the wind buffet
somewhat, so perhaps this
is something Harley will look
into for future ST models.
Inside the confines of the
expansive and very good-
looking fairing sits the most
minimal dash I can think of
for a production motorcycle
since digital dashes became
a thing god knows how many
years ago.
The cluster gives only
remaining fuel, speed and
time, with a smaller gauge
underneath possessing all
the required stuff like turn
signals, high beam, check
engine light, tire pressure
warning, etc. And you know
what? I absolutely love it.
I can't remember the last
time a dash design so per-
fectly fit a bike's aesthetic.
Harley's designers need a pat
on the back for this, although
if there is a criticism it's the
dash can sometimes be hard
to read when the sun is be-
hind the rider's back.
Travel ready with the
combined 53 liters of storage
space on the ST.
(Below) There's a
hint of sportiness
on the ST but it
loves to build up
the power on long
fast corners.
