I've got a friend who is holidaying down under in Australia, who saw this while out riding with friends when they went to the Albany Vintage MC Show on Saturday at Stirling Terrace and their hill climb on Sunday at Middleton Beach. He was very impressed.

Does it belong to, or is it known to, anyone in this group?

I believe I know the person who sold it
First major bike in my life was a Mach III widow maker.
My Second permanent bike 1978 Z1R (owned since Dec 1977)
My Third permanent bike is the 89 FJ12 - nice and fast
Forth bike 89 FJ12 my totally standard workhorse
81 GPZ1100 hybrid - what a bike, built to sell but I can't part with it

There's one with the exact same paint scheme on the other side of the country spotted going up Mt Glorious in Queensland

Too young to be old but old enough to know better.

Seen both these bikes (I worked in Brisbane) but the twin headlight version is a fairing from France. The person in Albany eventually sold it. Both look incredible.

Yes, a French company called Poly 26 makes the twin headlight FJ fairing
