FXS 1200 will have a 2F number; FXS 80 will have a 7G number

the first two digits of the VIN will tell you for sure.
79 & 80 you almost have to open one up to really know what's inside, seen bikes that were supposed to be 80" turn out to be 74's and visa versa. Those years were a real mix & match off the assembly line.

If you pick it up and want to upgrade from the original 2-1, I might be interested if it's in good shape.
Would also love to see a PIC of the actual bike.
