Title: PNW newbie
Post by: Oregon Trail on July 05, 2014, 04:53:44 PM: Just picked up an 89 KX500 from a local guy, looks like it has fairly low hours for an 89. So far it only needs tires, which 2 news ones came with it and the shock rebuilt.

do a little research...cause there's a lot of places that reproduce the 89 graphics...I've bought from Vintage Roost and was very happy, but again, there's a lot of companies making em.
