going to wreckers! 89 gs500 and 84 gs550 compatible?

[GSJames]

Hey all,

So I found a local wreckers that has an '84 GS550.  I've got an '89 GS500, that needs a few things (chain guard, passenger toe pegs/brackets, and gauge cluster).

Anyone out there know if I can put those parts off the 84 on my 89?  I'm assuming yes, I hear about how the design of the bike hardly changed since it's conception way back god knows when.   :lol:

If anyone can let me know, it'd be extremely helpful!

i wouldn't be so sure......the two bikes are NOT that similar
but thats not saying that you wouldn't be able to fit some of the trim/gauge stuff, i wouldn't just hope for eveything to be "plug and play"

We're talking the first '89 GS500 to the current GS500s... not the start of the GS line itself.

Anyone have any other advice on this?  Anyone had to replace gauge clusters or make different passenger toe pegs???

Just asking cause any info I can get on this subject is greatly appreciated

pass pegs. you can stick 99-02 r6 pegs in there and they look ok.
