I have an 84 model and my frame number is only about 200 higher. I've noticed the USA web sites that identify frame numbers are not correct for Australian delivered bikes.

Probably best to go buy the cushion lever mount point on the frame.
Bolt hole will be close to middle of where the frame tubes meet on 81/82. 83 was moved further out.
Also earlier 81 frames have 2 big lightning holes near the steering stem,later models don't.
