Wow, ya don't see those everyday. I would be all over those if I had a GS with a stock FE, you should keep an eye on em.
I just won the auction! $46 including shipping 8)
Not bad. :thumb:
Get some pics up once you install them.
Can you let us know if they don't fit when you get them. I found a set of those when I was looking a while back, but passed them up because 1.5" is just a little bigger than our 37mm tubes. They'll prolly fit, I just didn't want to take any chances.
Here it is! Before...

It fit over the forks perfectly. I did however have to take out the mounting brackets for the original headlight in order for the clipons to fit over the fork tubes. This wasn't a problem for me because I have aftermarket headlights.

Looks the business. I also wanted to let you know that you can cut the old handle bar perches off and grind the plate flat and it looks a million times better. You just end up with four small holes that you can fill in if you want. I can post a pick of mine if you want.
That's a good idea. ^^^
Ry, did you just flip your tail light? Or did you recess it too?

Thanks! It definately makes me feel more engaged with the bike and the road 8)

I just flipped it. And put some red tape over the clear lense that used to illuminate the liscense plate. You have to wrestle the rear fairing a little more to get it back on, but it still works.

I think I'll leave the bar perches and convert it back for when I do long road trips, but thanks anyways for the tip :cheers:

I feel ya on that. I bought an extra one, so my stock plate is unmolested.
i have the 89 triple and clip on which are sweet and look and perform better than any other out there. with having the 89's on there you can put any alum clip on bars you like such as woodcraft. i have a new set in the garage waiting to have he holes drilled and put on my bike. the 89 triple really made the bike for me
