fairings on it arent original but the bike itself was fairly good nick,the lucky strike stickers i got in a sheet for 10 bucks make it look good though,after that one i brought a minter done about 7000kms from new(still had original tyres on it)kept it for about 4 years and sold it for $13500 about 6 years ago to a guy in dunedin

Those lucky strike stickers were top notch compared to the suzuki labels coloured in with black felt tip pen that were on it when i got it

(the old fibreglass fairings are now awaiting restore for a mates RG) - For this bike new plastic fairings were offered up for a good price (seen as they are rare as ducks nuts) and have been added incl solo tail cowl, and its all off to the painters now - hoping to have it all sorted by year end and thinking about bringing it along to Taupo for display while we racing there after boxing day series.
