Fork question

PSS --- ADHD --- are you saying your bike is a 90 with bits and pieces of a 87n -- and 86   --- or was that another bike you are talking about

Cause --it looks all 86 to me --- front brakes -- forks - wheels --  all the beautiful 86 stuff --- slim fairing with beautifully slim air cooling intakes --- sumbudy stop me already

I ran vin# while back just for giggles and found her online a pic from 1990 with a 87 fairing with the rest being 86. Rough life I guess.

Its only paint color....

Yhea, but the why is interesting....and it gives me something to do.

I don't know if you remember "irishluck", but he was bound and determined to retrofit newer guts into an older bike (or vice versa).



This isn't one of "THOSE" projects, is it?

The salvage title might be a sign....Best I can figure the frame is 87 the rest 86. The pic I found was on fj registry the guy bought it in 90 but even then it was painted like 86 (with red wheels) but fairing was 87.Like I said rough life. I don't see any signs of damage to existing frame all looks tight. Thank god I'm in SC dot could care less. Knew this was a project but I could part her out online for more than I paid...now out of the question. In for the long haul.

Maybe it is someone else's 86.
