I recently compared my 2000 RS to a friends 2001 ST, i can say without hesitation that the bodywork will not fit without a complete set of ST mounting tabs. The mirror mounting frames are also wider on the ST.

The RS and ST share none of the same tabs, the ST bodywork is MUCH wider than the RS fairings.

As for the exhaust, the RS has a double sided swingarm and the ST underseats will not fit without a custom made midpipe. Looks like a custom pipe will snake out a bit too obtrusively around the swingarm. The ST singe side swingarm makes room for the upswept pipe that the RS does not have.

If you are really possessed, you can retrofit an ST single sided swingarm, and then install the ST underseat exhaust.

so, seems that if you want an ST, it might be more cost effective to just buy one, since the Triumph resale values are so low....................
