Micheal: I have an st 500 too which I really love. The changes you made to yours are amazing. I hope you will share what was necessary to change the drivetrain so I can keep mine running in the future. Thank you for your time. David

I have one too! I think mine is an 83 model,but really can’t tell what year, wish there was a way to tell. I think these were their first road bikes (touring) Can you tell me how you figured out the year of manufacture? thanks. ron
