Default 1990 Virago help!!

Hey Everyone,

I'm new to this forum (just found it today), but have a question. First off, I dont have a Virago, but I'm trying to help out a friend. He has a 1990 Virago 750 and needs a new "pinion" something or other (something to do with where the drift shaft connects to the rear wheel). Basically something has stripped itself out somehow and he needs a new piece. He checked with Yamaha and said that they want like $1200, but when I check ebay I see the whole drift shaft assembly for like $80, some for around $30, but that's for early '80's Viragos.

So here's my question: I cant find diddly for a 1990 specifically, would any other years or other models work for this bike? Are there any other models/years that are interchangable with this bike/part? I apologize for the lack of info, but this is all I know.

Please help!!
