HEY GUY'S GOT A PIC OF MY 89 GS 500,  ITS GOT SOME RUST AND A FEW KINKS TO WORK OUT , BUT NOT BAD FOR $600 BUCKS


I'M HOPING TO DO DUAL ANGEL EYES, AND MAYBE A R1/R6 TAIL AND SEATS, MAYBE A YOSHI SLIP ON, AND A SLIGHTLY LARGER TIRE OFF THE REAR, HAVE 130/90-17  AND WOULD LIKE AT LEAST A 140/70 140/80

Seems the price was very right!  Besides, you got the coveted (by some) '89 clip-ons.  Enjoy! :thumb:

That bike is a classic, I wouldn't mod it externally at all, just clean it up and thrash it.
Attack but have a back up plan

nice looking bike.

it seems that the exhaust pipes don't hold up very well in old age and most other things on the bike do...why is that?

I prolly could find a V&H or Yosh slip on for ~100. I just sold a nice yosh to someone here.
Cool.

Hells yeah! I love my 89! I'd say you got a real good deal. I paid $800 for mine with an oil leak. Youve got the same idea I've got with the duals and different tail and what not. Very clean bike.

Heat causes the paint to deteriate from day 1, when its all burned off rust starts to set in. You need to repaint them every few years with high temp paint to keep them looking good.

very nice 89´ , never saw an 89 in person  :)

i hate deep Murphy laws , even more when it´s happen to me

The Buddha

Supercrappe and V&H used some shitty steel in the headers. Yosh was slightly better, but still worse than suzuki. The suzi ones itself rust if you look at it funny, so you can imagine the rest. You're looking at a yearly paint job with all of them pretty much if you ask me.
Cool.
