I have an eight volume maroon / burgundy set. Not sure how up to date they are but the engine manual has amendments up to '88, i didnt look through the rest.

$300 + shipping if anyone is interested.

I don't know if I have the most recent set from Jim, but mine have "some" Euro wiring diagrams mixed in the diagrams for that year.

I dug into a "little" of the wiring differences in 85/86 and it seems like for the big wiring harnesses both US and Euro lights were wired, but I don't know which smaller more specific wiring harnesses are different.

US WSM has much ROW model info and many MY wirings cover all variations. '80-83 MY are problem. I haven't specifically checked but I think they do not have any ROW related info in them unlike later MY's.
