Not sure about the 89. On the 96 the air output hose is in the right saddlebag. The controls are on the right side of the fairing, near where your knee would be when sitting on the bike.

Same goes for my 1988. Right saddlebag, right lower fairing.

On my 97 you have to Lock the Handle Bars before the compressor works, Same location Right Saddle Bag, I bought a hose from a local Cycle shop, $18.00

Wow, that's a pain in the butt. That's one safety "feature" I'd be disabling forthwith.

I also think the compressor will only work with the key in the Accessory position, or while running, but only in neutral. Also, if I recall correctly, if you connect a hose to the hose in the saddlebag, it won't run (or flow air) unless you connect the other end to a tire or whatever.

One other thought: if you have an Interstate model, I don't think it has an onboard compressor. Not sure which years they made the 1500 Interstates. ??
