For what it's worth, I'm with Todd. He helped me buy my '75 R90S two years ago (paid $14k for it), and then I put another $5k into it to modernize it a bit (upgraded brake lines, e-z clutch, electronic ignition) and a bunch of maintenance stuff (it had been sitting for a few years). It's for sure still an?old bike, but that's what makes it fun!

Why don't you post some photos with a complete description and all pertinent details and advertise on this site.
A perfectly fine venue I would say.
BTW, nothing wrong with lightening the flywheel or upgrading the charging system. Those are common modifications or improvements and have no effect on the stock appearance of your bike.
Let's see what you have before you start getting too carried away on one of the classics.

Subject: [R90SWORLDNET] Selling my R90S Silver Smoke
I had advertised my 1976 R90S for sale in the local (Manitoba) sites and Facebook Marketplace with no bites. I had tried Bring a Trailer but they did not wish to do it with a reserve, so I declined. At this point I'm thinking about keeping and customizing mostly by reducing it's weight and modernizing it. I know some of you might find that unthinkable but I don't think I have much of a choice other than selling it for about $5,000 and buying an F800ST or F800R.
Some of the mods I'm thinking about are lightened flywheel, replacing the charging system and battery. I would appreciate any suggestions from the group.
Thanks.
