I replaced the gauge cluster on mine because the LCDs had died and the plastic was cracked. I didn't bother matching the odometer. I figure on a bike that old I'll just tell whoever buys it that it's been swapped out. I believe the '85 had an upgraded spring for the tensioner, so you might look into grabbing that one.
