This R80ST came with no right exhaust header or collector box. I decided to replace the entire exhaust system as the rear muffler and left header had a fair amount of rust.

Here is the new exhaust system installed. I’ll install the muffler heat shield when I get the side panels back from the painter.

This is a link to the documentation and a short YouTube video summary of how I do this work.

The left side crash bar on the R80ST includes a bracket for the side stand. So I start by installing the crash bars, then the side stand. Then I put the bike on the side stand and install the center stand.

Here is how I removed all those parts.

When I got the bike, it had no carburetors. I show how I remove the airbox in this write-up.
