Title: Another GS rider from Croatia
Post by: JohnnyB on July 02, 2017, 06:04:15 AM
 Hello everybody!

My name is Ivan I'm 24yo and I'm fresh owner of a 1989 Gs 500    O0
Since I bought the bike I've been here quite a lot, so i decided to join  the brotherhood.

Bike was in rough condition so I gave him all my loving.... Little bit of washing and polishing and turns out to be a real diamond beneath the surface. Front fork seals were replaced, changed oil, new oil and air filters.

Welcome to the site JohnnyB!

Love that blue and those tail plastics... very clean bike. :bstar:

What size is that front tire? Looks bigger than stock. Also, your header pipes look pretty nice :thumb:

Greetings ShowBizWolf 

Good eye! Front tire is 120/70 and rear is 130/70, R17 it feals really nice in corners,
Pipes are hand polished and soak in oil to prevent rust. Of course every few days i clean them with greasy rag... I think "rag" is the right word.

But heat did most of the work to give them that nice color
