Title: Just bought 93' GS500E...first bike.
Post by: AirStreamGS500E on June 12, 2007, 07:47:55 PM
I just purchased my first bike. Its a 93' GS500E with 13k on it and a Airstream custom fairings kit. What are some of the things I should keep an eye out for maintainence wise? Here are some pics of my bike, let me know what you think. I have been trying to decide on whether or not to change the paint color. i have to fix some minor fiberglass damage so ill either just repaint that section or repaint the whole thing silver with graphite in the same scheme.
