Rob,

The bloke has spent some money on it so the price has gone up a bit but after a shot of it I was smitten
I'm just working out how to tell my wife
Oh! That's an easy one..............

You're closer than you think with that one
After looking at what can be done with an Airhead G/S I've been toying with one for a while to use off road. The prices have been on the up for a while but I have been in no hurry, after all, after hearing about this one I did nothing for nearly an hour
Anyhoo, it's a R80ST of 84 vintage, it's been kept in Spain for the last 5 years and not really used much. It's in what I would call very clean condition, not perfect but a cracking basis for what I have in mind.
I had a ride out on it this afternoon and was really impressed with how hard it pulled, then really, really scared at how cr*p the front brake was
So I'm just going to use it as it is for now and if we fall in love then it's a strip down and make a GS replica
Take a look at the left fork leg, you'll find you can double up the stopping ability
Something worth thinking about with the ST though. There's less of them about nowadays. People keep making GS reps out of them.
When I lowered Jill's 100GS I put all the OE parts I didn't want in the attic, so it can be put back to it's original state when it's eventually sold on.

Hmmm....Modern plastics on an airhead, this could be interesting! The single disc on my GS works fine enough for me. I'm not planning to outbrake Rossi at any time in the near future
as for the front brake depends on how you ride
