CORRECTION: Near the beginning I say it now has an ST front end, that was the vocal equivalent of a typo...it's an R80GS front end.
This video is a technical walk round of my R80G/ST (originally an 1982R80ST). I've been using this bike for off-road racing, greenlaing, tours around Europe and as transport for my job as a professional photographer. I've tried to stay true to the style & feel of it's era, while making the bike my own individual piece.
This video is quite long with a lot of talking, not really designed as an entertainment, but I'm hoping in there I answer lots of questions people might have about airhead off-road builds and also converting an R80ST. Below are the chapters incase your interested in a specific part:
