Ohio FZ

[cfd37buckeye]

Hi, I bought my FZ600 (1988) in May, and have been hard at it getting it ready to ride. I have it streetworthy now, and have been riding it to and from work. It still needs some cosmetic parts, but overall it is about 98% complete. I plan to do the paint and body work over the winter if I do not sell it first. (Yes, it is for sale) I rescued the bike from an abusive owner who claimed that he hit a turkey with it, and broke the windshield. It had no key, did not run, and had a tremendous oil leak at the valve pan. Fork seals and neck bearings were gone, and not a piece of plastic left on it except for the front fairing. It had sat outside, uncovered for 2 years in harsh Ohio winters. I didn't know if I could salvage it, but it was the bike I wanted when I was a senior in high school, so I had to give it a shot.

Here are some pics and a video

If anyone has parts (windscreen) I am needing one pretty badly

Thanks, cfd37buckeye
