There is a photo on my M/S paqe of the 80/80 setup. It's a Rycote stereo 
suspension and zep.  Kind of like a small watermelon in size....

The 80/800 do have a figure 8 in their pattern set.  You probably mean 
the 8000 series, where a figure 8 is needed.

On the MKH-8020 how about the SASS?  I'd do one, but can't afford the 
mics. Or more like spending elsewhere.

Otherwise I'd expect some of the rycote small suspensions would carry them.

Well enough to bike tour across the state again this year. I get really 
good gas mileage on the Greenspeed. I'm in the process of building up 
another from a frame.

Been spending a lot of time on another of my hobbies, photography. 
Getting used to a new Sony a700 and several lenses new to me that I 
added this year.
