Locked Reflectors


Mac Kirkpatrick
 

Kirk (and others) are very correct about the reflectors only being on US
R90s models.

Now that I think about it the US dealer brochures picturing the R90s model
had a nice picture of the R90s, BUT the reflectors were obviously added to
the picture, even perhaps pasted onto the picture before it was published.
At least that is what it looks like in the brochures.
These reflectors were a crude add-on to the US brochures.


Here's a Challenge:

I don't think the R90s was ever produced with fork boots (gaitors, etc.) for
any market in the world. BMW may may have had them for the customer to add
later on (after the sale of the bike), but maybe that is not true either.

You can find many many pictures of the R90s with fork boots on the bike, but
these are not pictures from the factory, these are pictures from subsequent
owners and the gaitors were added to portect the fork seals from being
ruined.

Prove me wrong.......
