Title: New GS
Post by: D-Day on September 29, 2004, 03:46:31 PM
Hi,

Bought a 89 GS 500 that was for sale on this board a month ago in Minneapolis for $400.  It wasn't running (broken cam chain tensioner, which caused the valves to touch, bending two of them) and I had to fix that.  I also put rearsets on, a quarter fairing, clubman bars and mirrors.  Next on the to do list is a Bandit 400 wheel (already have) and a Katana rear shock (on the way)

Here are some pictures:http://tinyurl.com/6z6rj

Go to the album " 89 GS 500"

PS How many on this board have more than one GS?

I am actually from Berwyn IL, just west of Chicago.  Hwy 129 is better known as "The Dragon" and is just outside of Deal's Gap NC.  311 turns in 11 miles.  Well worth the trip.
