Ah, you've got a '80 on RTS model - makes things easier as it doesn't use that stupid relay system for the throttle - just straight from the pedal AND it's got the end vents in the dash. Should have the flush headlights but looks like it was either a transition model or someone's put the earlier lights in - prefer them anyway. Going to have to do something about those aweful tri-spoke wheels, though  If you've a mate in the biz. I got a full set of gas shocks for around $200 was pleasantly surprised but a bit harder than the KYBs, which I reckon were the best compromise for ride and control. |

Confusion abounds, I mean you should be able to pick up a new set of dampers for around $200-250.
Alternatively, when flush, TJM do kits with shortened, adjustable dampers and springs for around, IIRC, NZ$850ish landed.
