I have a one time used silencer for that bike, it was removed the first week the bike was bought and replaced with an FMF one
the item number on eBay is 132200722939 if you like it I could remove it and take the 10% off that eBay charges me
Ok, the RM80D 1983 is finally done!
After grinding down all the pitted parts of the exhaust pipe I could finally use some high-temperature primer and paint to bring this pipe back to life
Here are some pictures of the process of the pipe restoration and of the bike all done
After the holidays I will start the restoration of the RM80C 1978, so Happy Holidays to all of the VItal MX old school board members

They are available from Suzuki oem parts, Partzilla.com
After seeing the orange plastic throttle cover(pics)- I had an 83 D model back in the day and forgot how that original throttle looked with that orange cover- bought back some good racing memories!
Well done! Lovely bike and era.
Far be it for me to nitpick such a beautiful restoration, but I believe you have an '84 seat cover on that fine specimen. I'm only mentioning it because you appear to have an era-perfect restoration otherwise.
The '83 looked like my old '82 (RM in outlines, no mention of displacement,) except in blue instead of black. See below:
82:
83:
84: (Sorry couldn't find an 80)
what I have is exactly an 84/85 Nos seat assy, I could not find yet a Nos 83 seat assy and I did not want to use a replica seat cover on my old seat base and pan
So still looking for that 83 seat, this is a picture of the correct seat I need owned by a friend in Australia
