Not my bike, but thought folks here may be interested. It looks pretty darned good.

Strange it has twin headlamps being an 10/85 model..??

I don’t think it’s too strange, or strange at all. My 86’ has a manufacture date of 10/85 too. I’m pretty sure that manufacturers begin manufacturing the next year’s model in the latter months of the current year.
If you take a look to the motor number (220), it’s a VF1000RG (1986). The painting and the headlight are original for these american models. Only the mirrors are strange, because these kind of mirrors were only used for RE model. But I’ve seen several time this mirrors on american RG. Maybe it’s also original.
Mirror of US models is flat. VIN ist also for 86 model. I had an 85 US having the same mirrors and twin headlight. It has also the US fuel tank.
It looks quite good having the original screws and fasteners.
Yeah, my 86’ has the same mirrors as this one.
