Does anyone know the paint code for the blue stripe on the tank of the '82 GPz 750?
Is anyone running a better rear view mirror setup that they can share?

Blue? Mine been in the shed for a few months but pretty sure its black.

I'm running bar end mirrors at the moment, you see a hell of a lot more but everything is tiny!

No idea, came with the bike when I got it, its a Pipeline can and an unknown brand 4-1 headers that were a god awful red.

Great choice in bike by the way, I love mine. Are you rebuilding yours? You should start a thread about the resto and make sure you include plenty of pics.
