Let me tell you what's wrong with my R90S:

Alternator is from R90/6
Koni shocks...bright red springs, gold plated top plates
Stainless steel spokes
Flanged rims, clear anodized
Twin plugged
Red plug wires
Repainted (Daytona Orange)
"Tank you very much" written with pin stripe paint around the gas filler
Incorrect tank (flush cap)
Not 33/11 rear drive
Regular, not R90S handlebar mounts
Oddessy battery
Self made battery box, riveted aluminum
Power outlet on self made bracket
Braided SS brake lines
Twin Fiamms
Turn signal housings, lower fork legs, headlight ears and six pack rack Powder coated dark metallic gray

Soon to be modified:
Self made handlebar, 1" lower
R90S handlebar mounts, polished with black spear
CC Products rear sets (not very radical position wise)
Hopefully a bum stop seat of some kind, probably self made

The correctness police would have a field day with my bike. But it is not theirs.

The one thing I can see wrong with it, is that it isn't an RS.
I'd still have it tho'

hi kurt in S.A., if you go to picture 23 and blow it up ( the picture not the bike ) youll see the extension oil cooler fitted to the bottom of the engine block , the cooler has a different alloy colour than the rest of the engine block and has three large holes at the front of the cooler , also the sump plate looks different than what i have on my 90S.

One of the three that came with the bike - the earliest "folding" pattern.

I can't really tell which is picture 23, but now I see what you're talking about. Whoa...it's amazing that you saw that...eagle eyes. I was looking for the standard cooler with lines running to and from it. I wasn't thinking about an oil pan extension which has those three tubes running lengthwise. Thanks...

hi kurt in s.a , eagle eyes only wishing , actually had one of those on my /6 a long time ago , omg they where heavy ( in weight ) . regarding the reflectors that where mentioned , im pretty sure that they where fitted to the usa imported bikes, should be a set of reflectors on the fork legs and a set on the rear of the bike .

Seen this one yet Garnet? It's in Seattle. I always liked the smoked black bikes best.
