    If your 80 is a 650 it should drop right in. However there are a couple differences:

    Carb holders on an 82 are different. You'll need to swap those and maybe the carbs (although I doubt it) too.

    82 does not have a drive gear for the tach, it came with an electronic tach so you'll need to switch out the tach if you want one.
