The topof the sidecovers are at a different angle. The 80's are more slanted, and match the bottom slant of the seatput something smooooth betwen your legs, XS eleven

I don't think so. The left side had diff mounting holes and they are both shaped differently.United States Merchant Marine Academy, Kings Point, NY

cbradford: the answer is - you can't say for certain. The 1980 'G' was on the transition from slots to round holes, some bikes had a left cover with the 'new' round holes and a right cover with the 'old' slots'. See what you've got.
