    Mmmm, that's confusing. Mines got gear indicator and trip computer. Suggests my bike might be a later model than it states on log book. Can year of manufacture be determined from chassis number? If so where can I locate this info? Would this fit? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350257182445&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT Looks just like mine.

    Hi, looking for a new instrument console for my '83 Venture std. Speedo is working intermittantly and has hole in glass. I am in UK but no problem paying shipping. If you haven't got part or can't ship could you please confirm whether or not console from later model years would fit my bike. There's a console on ebay off a 93 that is priced good but I don't want to pay shipping and import duty if it won't fit. Thanks.

    Unfortunately not. Guess I'll just have to bite the bullet and hope the console from later years does fit my 83.

    Well i guess that would be an easier if somewhat more expensive option, but I like my bikes to have a bit of get up and go, and 1st gens are rarer than talent on the X factor here in the UK.

    Thanks for the info. I've been looking at old posts concerning whether a newer instrument console will fit my 83 and Some say yay and some say nay. I'd like a definitive answer if possible. They sure look the same in photos, and I'd take a gamble but Its not just the 50 bucks to buy one off ebay, its the 40 odd bucks shipping and probably another 20-30 dollars for UK customs. Theres hardly anything on UK ebay so I've no choice but to import.

    Hi guys, just joined your club. I live in the UK and have a '83 Venture std. It was imported from the states nearly 20 years ago. I've only had the bike a couple of months and its been great, love the old girl. No problems with 2nd gear yet (33000 on odo) but she's a slooooowww starter. Never let me down yet though. Question is would a new starter off a later model cure problem, pinwall cycles seem to have a few. I need to be sure as it costs more for shipping and import duties than for part. Other issue is speedo glass has hole in currently taped up, and speedo itself sometimes doesn't work for 3-4 miles then suddenly springs to life. Is this an easy fix? There's one on ebay off a '93 would this fit? Any advice gratefully received. If I get these 2 glitches sorted all I need to do is give her a coat of paint and she'll be good as new.
