80/82 standard 650's had em.  Bolt right on.  Do have to do something creative with the rear drum.  Some did it recently.

I knew someone had done it.  What did you do with the brake drum?
I'm running a 79 17 comstar on my 80 custom and just used the 80 drum.

I used the brake from the 80, but used the brake lever off the old 79 mag wheels.
U don;t have to do that their the same except for the alignment mark to the cam.
