You cannot make a poll in the GD forum, only in the OE. I have been told it was not needed.

A stock, pristine, unmolested '89 GS spends entirely too much time in my garage. It's so clean and so stock that the un-cognoscenti think that it's a new bike :mrgreen:

Cernunos has The White Owl.  The White Owl was born in '89 and it is supposed to be one of the finer examples.  I've never seen a photo, but maybe C will oblige???

I have one

Not me ... atleast not at the persent time, but I'd like to stand in for the non netted up dude that bought my long standing 48K mile 89 ... and yea drifter8899 bought another 89 from moi ...
Cool.

1989 Here that went under the knife..... a little bit of nip and tuck has her looking like a flashy '04 with black motor and white wheels

Man, I almost bought an '89, but it wasn't in very good condition. I'd absolutely LOVE one of the black '89s with the red and white pinstriping. Those things were absolutely gorgeous.

I think it looks better than new 04 or 05 GS'es ... the 05 tail is blue but the fairing has a lot more white - as in the mids and lowers are white ... the 04 has the white tail, and a black front fender with flat black frame and wheels ... that blue front fender and the older frame are much better as are the white wheels against the blue and white ... In fact the white front fender off that bike was better than black ...  :x
but that pic is cool ... I need it for the wif ... send more if you can ...
Cool.

OK thinking of updating my 2000 lately TarzanBoy did you need to use a oil cooler in that upgrade?  :dunno:

What size tire is that Tarzaboy?

Tarzanboy,

Nice ride!

Stock 89....  

The upgrade was performed by Srinath (fabrication, flanges, welds, brackets, spare pieces), and polished by cheesy (instrumentation, flush mounts, spring upgrades, maintenance, etc).

To my knowledge, no oil cooler was added.

You're in for a heck of a project if you're going to add (= welding) the brackets for the fairings.... I think the other pieces should fit without as much hassle.   Srinath will tell you how he did it.


Srinath, I will take some photos for you today, provided that my camera still works (i dropped it)

-EDIT-
The tire on the back is a 140.  Its not the same exact tire as in the following pic, but its the same size

COOLGUY?
