    guys i have this problem that is follows.
    eevrtime i want to buy a part 4 my 1989 vn the person in the store calls it a
    series 1. I think it's a series 2 it was built in December of 1989.

    It's not got the original trans or motor in it so I'm not sure.
    can anyone tell me?

    if necessary i cant get pics.

    thanks in advance

    Series 2 was not until 1991. 1989 is Series 1.

    this will be the issue not the type or build of the body

    an easy way to tell... if your thermostat is behind your throttle body its a S1.. if its on the front of your engine slightly to the left of your alternator its a S2..

    easy....

    good point but it depends what parts your trying to get for it i think the cas and water pump are the 2 major issues when looking for parts
