The engine on the standard is still good, except for a hole in one of the right side covers from when the bike fell over. I can get it for about $250Life is not measured by the amount of times we breathe, but by the moments that take our breath away.

It would appear the Oceania versions only covered the Standard until 81 when they got the RH model. IIRC, the RH is alot like a MNS. Here in the US, the 80 MNS had the same brakes as any other Special, in 81 the MNS got the linked brakes that were on the XJ model, while the SH got the same brake system as all previous special models.
My guess would be the RH may have gotten the linked brakes.Life is what happens while your planning everything else!

From looking at the parts fiche, it appears the RH has the LH/XJ calipers, but didn't get the linked brakes.... those were only inflicted on the NA buyers...Originally posted by DGXSER View Post

hi speed devil,
your bike is the same standard that i have here,
its a 1980 standard, itll have a different engine to
the rh's, the '80 is fitted with a 2h7 tci and has the mechanical
advance and the large intake valve head and later cams/pistons,
the rh is fitted with a 4ro tci and has no mechanical advance
all the engine parts are from the earlier model engines 2h7,
the parts/engines are interchangeable just wanted to let u know
that there are some differences.
the rotors werent slotted in the 80g but are on the 81 rh.pete

Even in the U.S. only the 81 standard had slotted rotors. And both 78 and 79 both had the same seat and cowl on them as well as the same side covers, which also were the same for later standards outside the states. Only in the U.S. IIRC did we get factory slotted rotors, and the until 81 only on the specials in 80.Originally posted by BA80 View PostCy
