          Welcome to GSR.
          Thanks for introducing yourself some. You get extra points for stating your location. More extra points to be had for posting picture.

          Lots of folks here willing to help and share their expirence with their bike.
          Was some design changes between 79 and 80 on the 850s (and most others), but most any knowlodge/experience between the two is usefull. Except the 79 had breaker points in the ignition and different carburators.
