89 subframe issues

Post by Dlasure2 »

I picked up a 89 after the previous owner flipped the bike and destroyed the subframe. I got a new fender, and airbox but now I need a subframe. I know the 89 is the oddball year but I was hoping other year subframes would innerchange. any help would be greatly appriciated.

Other years will swap right on there but you need the airbox, sidepanels, and the silencer to go with it. I believe the seat mounts a little different too.

Thanks this is exactly what I need to know. since I have a new airbox for my 89 subframe I will try and find a good 89-90 frame. other than ebay are there any other places to look for one.
