Hi, New to the forum and new to Fz's to be honest! Haven't even owned a Yamaha for 20 odd years. For some reason, I have decided to take on a basket case, semi butchered street fighter 87 fz I found cheap. Already have a few 80's bikes on the rebuild list, but somehow this one has pulled at the heartstrings and got precedence now. Was thinking about going down the 86 Lawson style route, but I did see a Marlboro red full faired race bike that looked impressive, however full fairing seems to be in short supply. Looking at getting it prepped for Period 6 racing here in Australia next year. Anyway open to any suggestions, will post a build thread when I actually get anything done. Any help with colour codes etc for a Lawson rep are more than welcomed and any tips in general. Thanks, and I look forward to chatting and getting this bike back on the track soon. Cheers.

G'day Fizzer, thanks for registering. Looks like you've got your work cut out there! Pod filters, no rear sub frame, no exhaust? rear shock? Last 2 items are a bit thin on the ground/pricey for the FZ unfortunately. Hagon shock was £300 last time I asked. Is there more to it than the picture would suggest? Hope you get it finished & post plenty of pics along the way.

Hi Graham, thanks for the welcome. Luckily for me the rest of the bike is out of that picture. I just took the back half off to get it into the tray of the dual cab ute to get it home. So I have everything. The rear sub frame was cut off by the previous owner, who was going to turn it into a streetfighter. Funnily enough, it was registered and on the road 2 months and 2 owners ago! Got the motor to fire yesterday, no problems runs well. Will probably order some bits and pieces and think about doing something in the next few weeks. Cheers.

Hi Fizzer,
Welcome to the forum. I've just finished turning my '88 Silver & Charcoal FZ into an '86 Eddie Lawson scheme. Can't help you with paint codes, as I had mine vinyl wrapped.
