a basic rule that can be applied to a port 80 virtual server that redirects all traffic from port 80 to port 81 would be

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    HTTP::redirect https://[getfield [HTTP::host] ":" 1]:81[HTTP::uri]
}

Basically the built in redirect rule with :81 squeezed between the host and the URI where it belongs.

Result:

Escape character is '^]'.
GET /path?query HTTP/1.1
Host: www.abc.com
Connection: Close

HTTP/1.0 302 Found
Location: https://www.abc.com:81/path?query
Server: BigIP
Connection: close
