Nice that you kept the original patina. Sounds great!. I have a 76 R90/6 . 58,000 on the clock and still bullitt proof. Keep the content coming, nice job all around.

I'm glad I did, I like the wear on this bike. Great patina on all the paint. Your bike sounds great. I've been riding mine a ton all summer and it doesn't give me a single problem. Next up is a 73 R75 /5!

Nice👍. I’m working on my 74 R90/6. White. Had a Vetter fairing for most of its life and I’m putting back to original like yourself. Bought in 1979. Has just over 79k. Krauser bags. Wish me luck.

Very nice R90/6 BMW, I like the mods that you have done on charging system and ignition system. I own a 1976 R90/6 Black w white pinstripe motorcycle like yours. Disassembled the Gauge cluster and installed all new bulbs. I do like the L.E.D upgrade.

Well done. I agree your exhaust sounds amazing. I refurbished a 1975 R90/6 in Monza Blue. Keeping the worn and a little rough original paint vs repainting is a hard decision for me. Keeping it original for now anyway.

I bought this bike non running for around $4000 if I remember right, I definitely overpaid a bit for it. I put another $1000+ into it for mechanical and electrical fixes and upgrades. I think it's now worth around $5500+ as well sorted mechanically as it is. Some people might disagree based on the patina, but I figure it's only original once and there's not a ton of Havana Gold /6 around!

Thanks! Yes I'm aware the gauge cluster is installed wrong. I had the wrong bolts that were too long, and did it that way to make them work. I still need to track down correct length bolts for the gauge mounting.
