Bought another GS today  Shes a little rough but thats what I have been looking for, A nice project 

Congrats! Nice looking bike, and sure to be a fun project. 

Yea.. Its an 89 with about 44K on it  No clipons  that sucks... I guess someone swaped em out a while back. But it does have the Yosh pipe  and the price was more than right 

care to elaborate on the price

nice, is that the full yosh exhaust?

looks like the the slip on like i had on my 89

Looks like a full Yosh to me, but I haven't taken a good look at it yet.

The price, well  I wasn't gonna say in case I part bits of it out. But, I cant bare to hold it in as I know that you guys will all be jealous  I paid $150 

$150!!!!!   what crack head did you steal that off of...

Dude ... maybe its not got clip on's cos its not an 89 ...  ...
Though I have removed clipon's on 1 89, its not somehitng I do ... cos all the wires and cables and sheite wont readily reach. But on that 1 bike, I damaged the mounting posts and decided to swap it for my 2 weld bar and I already fitted longer cables on it a few years ago so the choke and throttle go along the frame instead of the middle.
Its not 89 I can assure, the frame ... Top seat rail welds to the main frame on an 89 do not have the gussets ...
Cool.

  Frame tag says 1989... Guess it could be a 1990? I wont have the title till Monday to know what it says

If the "Suffix Letter" is 'K', it's an '89.  If it's 'L', it's a '90.



Note that my '99 was Manufactured in early '98.

89 vs 90 - easy to tell, frame to top seat rail weld has that gusset. 89 does not.
The clip on's can be changed, the aluminum shock linkage actually changed after 90, the engine subframe weld is still in the middle instead of to the left ... all that wont come to your rescue. The frame/seat rail gusset and of course Kerry's vin number are you best clues.
Cool.

I really like those bars...they look like MX bars.

Yea.. I went an did the title paperwork today and Its a 1990  A

And yea, those are MX bars on her 

Now to start stripping her down and see what all she needs  I did get it to fire up but I only let it run for a min as there is some fuel in the oil. Everything seems to work except the spedo, the cable is broken 

Best $150 I ever spent 

More pics of the new baby

tell me those are water marks on the L side of the frame, not welds.

$150 huh, and the carbs are all fuxxored up like mine. COooooOOOOoool.

I'd hit it.

Nice looking garage! Looks like you've got plenty of space to work at getting this new bike in tip-top shop. 

The stuff on the sides of the frame is 550 cord. When you buy something from a Marine chances are it will have some 550 cord on it  Its on both sides... I guess they used it to strap stuff to the tank 

Yeah Nice garage..... real nice.

Deals can be had. I've bought a few Gs's for the same money ( still with factory paint even..) in almost running condition.

Hell if you part it you can sell the exhaust and have already made a profit.

Enjoy.

Thats what I was thinking  I had a V&H and didnt like the sound, I hope that the Yosh sounds better... I imagine they are about the same though 

Well I can tell that the EX500 Vance and the EX500 Yosh are the same pipes as what was sold to the GS crowd...they sound completely different on the EX.  The yosh sounds "tuned".  The Vance is straight raw.  They both sound awesome to me, but for completely different reasons.
