The Best Looking RZ500 Custom Paint Job Ever ...?

All I have heard is that the bike is on the east coast and the plastic is actually one of those inexpensive "China" kits that are sold on The Bay.

Did the off-shore people REALLY do this?

Beautiful bike. If anyone knows who did the plastic please share.

I'm sure no one here cares much less remembers but the TZ that Jimbo Filice rode at Daytona in 1982 was the best looking yellow/black/white Yamaha ever.

"Filice rode at "
Perhaps because he crashed out, the only pic I could find of it was b&w, from the front, with 30 other bikes.
Edit
Hailwood1965, was the 250 done like roberts (this) bike except the 250 number plates were black?

It has a Wilson Performance sticker on it. I bet Bill could find out who painted it.
