$125? No bids? Doesn't matter. It's going to go for well over $125. I wonder how many Daytona Orange R90S bikes don't need a better front fender?

Of course I could be wrong . . . . . . . . . . . .

Nah!

Ken, one of those "limbs" of which you speak might be part of the "arm and a leg" you'd pay for a new one from BMW. They are asking around $200 for that fender in primer!

Biggest problem matching anything to a graduated R90S paint scheme is that the original paint will have faded and a NOS part will not match colour-wise. If you end up having to repaint the plastic to match, then there's no benefit in buying an expensive original-paint part.

Mount it on the stone wall above the fire place?

Good idea! There are a lot of airhead parts that would look good so displayed. With the possible exception of a worn out clutch disk, they seem to be easy on the eyes.

In fact, thinking about it, a whole airhead up there wouldn't look half bad.

I had my '76 Silver Smoke R90S in the living room for around 9 months while I did some rebuilding to the garage - looked good, and complemented the flat-screen perfectly.
