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).

:bomb:

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.  (popcorn)
