fowl998 Posted December 19, 2015 Share #1 Posted December 19, 2015 Hello All, New to the forum. I picked up a pretty nice 1984 Royale last summer for very short money. The bike had the common shift pin problem and I was able to fix it pretty easily. The bike runs great and being a long time sport bike rider I am quite pleasantly surprised at hoe it handles for a big bike. Now to my question; Does anyone know what if any changes were made to the fairings from 1984 to 1990? My bike has a cracked right side fairing and I found a 1988-1990 fairing as a replacement. They look identical but I just want to make sure the fit is the same before I purchase it. Thanks for any help. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiCarl Posted December 19, 2015 Share #2 Posted December 19, 2015 (edited) All the years you listed are Gen 1 bikes. The fairings are interchangeable, just color differences in different years. Somewhere on here there is a detailed history, but I cannot find it. Gen 1, MKI was 1983-1985. Gen 1, MKII was 1986-1993. The Gen 2 was introduced in 1999 and is a cruiser style rather than a sport tourer. Edited December 19, 2015 by MiCarl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiCarl Posted December 19, 2015 Share #4 Posted December 19, 2015 Try the "History" button on the home page, near the top-center. Yeah, that's not the one I'm referring to. Somewhere there was an article by freebird that went through MKI, MKII, 2nd Gen and the Royal Stars. Wasn't able to find it quickly to share.
