I bought a 1988 FZR 750 few months ago.
It turned out that it actually had a 1000cc engine in it.
There were some issue with the bike like it still had the 750 carbs installed, airbox didn't sit right and fit into the boots etc. Random parts were also thrown on, radiator and other things were leaking, the oil was the blackest I have seen in my life etc. Pretty bad shape.
I started with finding the correct carbs, replaced the boots, from airbox as well as to engine. Next, I checked the valve clearances and adjusted all shims. They were all out of spec. After new radiator, tires ans various other parts, I had her running right. And what a blast. I put 500 miles on her and no issues at all, not a single leak.
Now I could finally focus on making her pretty. I bought another 1988 fzr 1000 that was complete and came with a lot of original goodies, a ton of fairings included.
Enjoy the pics.
When I got her

Bought the other 1988 FZR 1000 which came with all of these goodies. And yes, two original and still factory sealed side fairings

Now with side fairings, which are giving me some trouble because they are a tight fit and things don't align well yet. Still need to spend some time
