Hi reg.  I have purchased the spoke kit and seat cover from vintage avenue for an rm80n that is my next project after the rm80b.  That was on Aug 20th.  Have not got them yet but when i do, which should be soon, i will report back.
Cheers,
Alex

They look a bit thin for my liking.

They are junk don't bother. They have cut threads instead of rolled and thin gauge. Nipples are not symmetrical.

I bought a set for an RM125 and the spokes continually backed off and had to loctite them to keep them tight. Never again >:(

At least they now tell you that they come from Thialand previously they where advertised as Japanese 'quality' and showing a US location. They arrived from Thialand.
