In addition to what DirtFlier said about how the bike is crated for transportation from the bike's point of manufacture to the US, not a single got a boat ride from Japan. Until 2011, all the Deauvilles/NT700Vs were made in Spain. From 2011 till production ceased in 2014, they came from Italy.
More appropriately, it's interesting that Honda wouldn't give any help on the instrument cluster. Had you bought the bike new? If so, how long had you had it before the failure?
