I believe the ignition box was changed for 90 as well as carbs.Also for instance mine is also an 89.An early production 89.The throttle cables on mine were only used on 88 and early 89 models.The switch on the throttle to shut the cruise off different.Stuff like that.There are no bad years to have as far as one against another 1500 but if thats what you are looking at 97- 00 would the pick of the litter.Trans is supposedly beefed up a bit and the bugs were more worked out by that time.Like Zook said sell Diablo and take that money and what you would spend on that and by a nice one.
Thanks for the insights Marc...I have a Dealer in Dallas that's supposed to have a 2008 (?) GW MT...I ran across some pictures and went to the website and did the "What's my bike worth" thing and got back a lowball offer (at least I think it's lowball) on my V-Star 1300 Deluxe whaich has been my baby the last four years but now I have a hard time throwing a leg over with back and hip issues creeping into my well worn body...:cripple:
If I can get a decent trade on El Diablo and the V-Star that would be great, but they are primarily a Harley shop and I'm not really sure I want to go Triglide considering the "name" value added nor do they have many other trikes besides Triglides.
It will all come together how the power greater than I am wants it to so I'll just go along for the ride and keep an open mind.
