Frame interchangeability 79 frame with 80 Special frame

Except for your side-covers, (without modification), everything from your 80G will swap over to a 76 Standard frame, even your 80G seat will bolt onto the 76 fame, (not that you will be doing that). Your forks and triple trees, actually the whole front end is a straight swap. Spoke wheel Special swing arm, is also a straight swap wih no modifications. The Standard swing arm an option to undo the rear of the swing-arm so the rear wheel will slide out from the back. This is so the long factory mufflers wouldn't have to be removed to get the axle bolt out when removing the rear wheel

Just remembered the 80G has bs34 carbs and plastic factory air-box's. The mounts for the air-box will be different, FWIW.
