Hi all, im looking at a 1988 Fj1200. This is the Colour scheme below. I have not seen this before, does anyone know if its original?..I have emailed the seller asking if he knows.  im a bit dubious from what i have seen previously.. Any advice greatly appreciated.

The main fairing looks to be the OEM paint and decals. The color is a very, very dark Metallic Blue with the Gold decals. The rest of the bike has aftermarket paint.

Yep, I agree with Fred.
1) Free Owners Manual download: https://tinyurl.com/fmsz7hk9
2) Don't store your FJ with E10 fuel https://tinyurl.com/3cjrfct5
3) Replace your old stock rubber brake lines.
4) Important items for the '84-87 FJ's:

You can find replacement plastics to match the original color on the main fairing on ebay so if you like the bike otherwise don't let the looks deter you.

G'day tunza, Not original as others have said.

Probably should look like
1984 FJ1100
1979 Kawasaki Z1300
1972 Honda CB750/4 K2
