Hi Sam,
I well Scott Wigginton is the Yamaha expert. He was a few yamahas of almost all early years. There are certain changes year to year that help narrow down the year. Mine actually has an earlier gas tank for now. The shape changed in 1980. There are differences in brake systems used, tanks, geometry, bumpers and wheels. These wheels are the type that came out in 1980. Moving upward into the 1980s a few changes where made in wheel types, brakes, tank graphics, etc.
Attached is a photo of Scott's amazing 1980 Yamaha RC100SE. Also a few period ads.
Made some time to work on tank graphics last night. Only 99 more details to go.
