Nice R90S for sale

The result when Hans Muth met George Barris (que up the "Munsters" theme) . . . The blurb says the paint is new, and those pipes on the plug wires are apparently "cable oilers". What does lubing a plug wire do?

One of the 1975 R90/6 I bought recently has glued on cloisonne emblems. Perhaps they were used on BMW cars of that period?

For what it's worth both my runner '76 R75/6 and my parts '76 R75/6 have got the "flat" emblems on their gas tanks. The parts bike has been painted, I think, but the runner is original.

Perhaps the "flat" emblems showed up at approximately the '76 model year?

It looks to be very well done, but the wrong paint lets it down.

I usually prefer Daytona orange, or bloodclot, but, I think this would look look its best in silver smoke. At least, that's the color that would fit in best with the Batmobile tie-in.
