Changes in '88-89 European models were mostly bodywork. Plastic from an '86-87 (two-part fairing) will not fit on an '88-89 (three-part fairing). The instrument panel is different and so are the controls on the handlebars. Windshield was changes as well (the '88-89 has an adjustable windshield; two fixed positions - not motorized). The turnsignals are different. Mufflers are polished instead of black. 17" wheels front and rear. No major change in the engine or chassis.
