Post a pic of your Airhead

I know I already posted pics of my '78 R80/7, but last night I took the fairing off while trying to chase down a squeaky sound, and boy is that a sexy machine when you take all its clothes off!

Nah, it looks good, for sure...but I got enough of being a tough guy when I was half my age. I live in Kansas, where we get ALL the weather, and I like to ride every possible day of the year. The fairing is ugly, but by cracky, it makes for a hell of a comfy ride. :)

"ugly" but so unique!! That Wixom Ranger on your R80 is so retro cool!
All you need to do is figure away of removing and reinstalling the fairing quickly. In the day I had a CB500T with a Wixom rigged up with wing nuts for quick removal.

My new airhead project. 1983 R80ST. Picked it up a couple of days ago. I am at the stage of trying to figure out where to go with it.. I am leaning towards a scrambler style rather than a full on G/S... I like to ride gravel and some dirt roads so I was thinking of a G/S handlebar, knobbie tires and chunky grippy pegs. Probably get a solo seat and a tail rack set-up.. give it a spit, pollish and a few dabs of paint here and there.

I was looking for a ST for some time for a few reasons.

1) I am only 5'5".
2) I wanted a 800 cc monolever
3) wanted spoke wheels with tubes so I can air down my tires on extended soft stuff
