Motorcycle Repair: 1985 yamaha virago 1000cc, gauge cluster, panka

Question
I just purchased my first bike, a 1985 yamaha virago 1000cc, from my neighbor and it has a few problems, mostly non-mechanical. One issue is that i need to replace the gauge cluster/console. I have been searching and cannot find one to purchase for my model. I'm wondering where I can go? Or if I can use one not specefic to my year and model?

Answer
Sevy, I usually Go to eBay to find what parts i need for just about anything im looking for. Also you can do a search on google, and type in "Motorcycle salvage" Most of these places have a sattilite link which if they don't have the parts, somewhere on Earth, someone has them and wants to see them...Thats a relatively popular bike, shouldn't be too hard to find parts for it.
Good luck!

Hope this helps!
