Yamaha FZR 750 RU description

Up for sale is a 1988 FZR750 RU 
It has a 1987 1000cc engine in it, put in by previous owner
Mileage of engine unknown, my estimate, based on condition is around 10-15 K.
My stated 500 is what I put on bike since I did the valve job.
Please note: some pics show the bike with e.g. missing turns etc. Because they were taken before I put them on.

Bike is complete with all fairings and parts, even has the rare passenger seat cover.
The right side fairing is missing the FZR sticker which is on order, as well as the "yamaha" stickers that go at the bottom.

What I have done since I've owned the bike:
Put in correct carbs (previous owner did not upgrade to correct sized carbs after changing engine)
Cleaned carbs, color tune, carb sync
Valve clearance adjustment and replaced with new shims to be in spec again
New wheel bearings
New tires
New sprockets
New chain
Cleaned inside of the tank, looks like new.

Found all original fairings with original paint, covers and ducts to complete the bike
I changed oil and filters twice within 500 miles to clean up engine
Replaced all fluids (clutch, brakes, forks, coolant)
Side fairings are covered with heat shield
No leaks whatsoever

Bike runs great, shifts smoothly, everything works. Bike has inspection and is on the street

Unfortunately only one key, but it operates ignition, tank and seat. The helmet lock requires a second key.

The bad: there is a small crack in the right side rear cover which I will fix with high performance glue. Minor paint chips here and there.
No other issues.
Tank has some minor defects in paint, as pictured, but it's a 28 year old bike and I wanted to keep it original. No dents, just two very small dings on top. Can be seen in pic as well.

Clear title in hand and in my name
Pickup only, but willing to work with your shipping company.
Bike and title do not leave my house until money is in my bank account.

Edit: I have a spare set of fairings (nose, side panels, rear side covers) that I will give with the bike. Need a paintjob but are otherwise in good condition.
