I never noticed that the turn signals are integrated into the fairing! I like the look. I guess US regs were different.

You'll also noticed it has factory rear seat cowl from Kawasaki. The lower fairing is also available from US when new. The turn signal is integrated into the bodywork everywhere except the US. I was tempted to shop Ebay Canada to get the integrated signal fairings as I know they go the 86-87 model too but never got around to it. Is yours restored?

Since someone revived this old thread, I'll post some updates of my bike. Minor upgrades like Fox twin clicker rear shock, custom Area P exhaust (Area P header for Pre-Gen and Yoshi TSR canister). Powder coated wheels, swingarm etc.. and some decals updated. Its been published in a British Mag. called Practical Sportsbikes which focus on 70's, 80's and 90's machines.

when your bike gets published in a magazine, you know you're doing something right

This is what it looks like two years ago. After I move to a new home and gone through a major remodel and forgot to cover my bike. I literally tear the bike down and restored it again more or less. Lesson, don't park your bike in a house that going through remodel, dust from tiles, drywall, carpet etc will get into everywhere, even inside the carbs

Nice work, my friend.

That bike is awesome. Love the details and color scheme, especially those white wheels!

not even close, but it's reliable DD. Just got a 75 honda 400f stable mate! What a pair

Congrats on getting published (twice, it sounds like?)! Your work deserves it.
