Yep, using the stock ST subframe, same as the G/S. The seat and rear rack are G/S pattern parts from Boxxerparts.de

Did you manage that with the ST subframe?
It appears too short for a GS subframe, near as I can tell.

I picked up a GS subframe but find I'm reluctant to make the change due to its length & weight...

also thinking I go 21" front before I need to replace my 19" tire.

Switching from 19" ST wheel to 21" G/S wheel didn't make that much of a difference on my bike (actually /6 with G/S fork.) Maybe the weight difference between G/S and GS wheels has more infuence then one would think? According to MaxBMW: G/S is 9.26lb, GS adds about half to that (13.36lb.)
That fact that the 21" lifted the front an inch impressed me a lot more, felt like falling backwards the first few rides. This will be leveled with longer rear shocks as soon as the postman delivers them. Man, waiting for new -used- goodies always seems to take forever.

looking forward to getting a 21" front on this

I love the look at this stage, but need more range and better off road manners of the 21" front.. I still have all my ST parts tucked away in a few boxes.

What is this side stand ? Surefoot ?

Like that ST Renner! Something else I need.

Renner · 01-16-2012, 08:57 AM

thank man, I'm wondering how your tire search will play out.

The refresh work is complete on my '83 R80ST. It had been sitting for about 20 years. I bought it in July. It has finally been freshened up. All fluids, cables, and hoses replaced. Fuel tank repaired and repainted. Other body panels repainted. I added the stock fairing. I gave it a paint scheme with a nod to McLaren F1 cars.

It's the middle of January and I'm in a very snowy New England USA. I may have to wait a couple of months before I can enjoy the bike out on the road.

Renner · 01-21-2012, 06:18 PM

excellent

Thanks! Just click on either pictures in my post above. Your browser will go to the photo gallery.

Cheers.

subagon · 01-21-2012, 08:26 PM

Yes, more pictures please

I was thinking about getting the same fairing, but had never seen it on a bike. Does it come unpainted or silver/red?

How about a picture of the fairing showing the speedo/tach?

Edit: never mind, went to your smugmug page and found the picture I was looking for.

So....

another look at my ST!

looking uber-capable

maybe a bit on the 'clean' side, though
