If you can get the '89 for a grand and it is in good shape I would do that. The '95+ is a better bike but, will most likely cost you more $$$ So, if you have the buget for it, go with a '95+ but, if a grand or so is your limit and the bike is in good shape go with the '89.

I have to assume that the FMF pipe you are talking about was made for a KDX of that year so the answer would likey be yes.

You might want to checkout Canadian Dave's website ( http://justkdx.dirtrider.net/ ) especially the page on 89-94 pipe mods.

i guess i never thought how a bike looked makes any diffrance on how it performs but i guess if you can look good and perform well too i guess thats a plus, those new cannondales sure look funky but i can assure you the really run well!!!:eek: did i just say that?

In my opinion, if that '89 is going to be sold for a grand, it better be really sweat (stock rubber still on it, less than 100 original miles, not a stripped bolt on it, so on). I don't know about your area, but here you can get a 95, 96 for very very close to that price, in good shape, and not stripped of all the accessories the former owner might have put on it. Even though he might be your bud, check around for some other KDX's. I also think you would be happier with at least a 95 or up. And I can almost bet you, you could find those years very close to his price. Remember that bike is 12 years old! You can still buy the parts, but the dealers are getting more scarse because of the year it is. Take this as far as you would like, but this is my opinion.:cool:
