The story I'm about to tell you started a long time ago, when I was a Zilla rookie. I saw several part numbers on the 87 (which I new was the first year of Zilla) fiche that looked funny. It started with the clutch basket. The fiche said it's number was 21200-43B01, and that it didn't supersede from an earlier number. I thought it was strange. Fast forward to a few months ago. A friend at a dealer gave me a book with ALL the Suzuki parts ever imported to the United States. I call it my spellbook. This spellbook, when used properly, can be used for finding interesting parts, and it told me my intuition was correct about the clutch basket, so I started looking at more parts. These are the ones I found to be the non original parts. Who's to say if these parts were ever in the hands of the public?
These are 87 Zilla specific parts.

I'll probably do the other years too.
Since most of the parts are 87, first year, it was probably very early production parts that failed/didn't work and were quickly swapped for current part #'s. Typically recall/defective parts and there #'s vanish from oem parts lists. Kinda like the big names sweeping failure under the rug if you know what I mean. Kinda interesting that many screwed up #'s though.
I agree, but what problems could have possibly arisen from the front fender and grips?
And yeah, I get what you're saying. T to the OYOTA.
I've discovered an anomaly with the 88-90s! The CYLINDER was originally 11210-43B11-0F0.
As for grips and fenders could just be a material or style revision. As for the cylinder possibly a big reed for 88+ bikes or possibly a factory duner option, hard to say its all speculation.
Could be. Could have been anything really. A big reed 7 stud would have been nice. If you look at the picture, in the upper right, you'll see that it's drawn as a big reed. Also, the reeds in the picture are 8 pedal, not 6.
It is a 6 bolt, but an 8 pedal.
I see 7 bolt holes look at the top of jug lol and 8 peddle reeds the best of both worlds
