Yamaha fz-r1 eddie lawson version

[ALEX GAROLI]

Hi there, this is my last finished proyect, is a re-build, This is a 1988 YAMAHA FZR750R (OW01) TAMIYA KIT, It was in bad condition after 15 years, so I restored it in a unique way.
Now, imagine that back in 1989 tou could see this add in magazines:

This is the bike. I know is not really detailed and some parts are from a die cast bike, like turn signal, but this was a relax restoration:
FEATURES
-Modified lateral and bottom cowls.
-Modified front fairing and windshield
-Modified tail section
-Added tail exhaust tips
-Scratchbuilt exhaust tubes
-Modified fuel tank
-Changed regular fork to scratchbuilt inverted front fork
-Changed regular swingarm to a Ducati 999 swing arm
-Special paint scheme
-Scratchbuilt rear taillight supports
-Modified frame
-Adapted frond and rear fenders























Here is the history of this bike:
