Well the paint's bad, but he admits to that. Otherwise it's mainly original as far as I can see:

Ride-off stand (maybe an improvement over OEM...)
Alloy indicator bodies (only fitted to 1974 year bike)
Alloy gas cap (only fitted to 1974 year bike)
Fuel taps (mono style fitted)
Shock absorbers (they're Boges, but lacking the shrouds)
Grab rail (should be chrome)
Horns

Chassis number checks out, and depending on the price it sells for I've seen worse.

I missed the shocks and the gas cap. I have the new style gas taps on two of my bikes and just look right throught them.

What about the mirrors. Shouldn't thet be black?

Yes indeed.

He's also replaced the original Magura bar grips (shame).

I can see the paint isn't original. R90's go for 10to 20K in Oz. I can only afford one 90S, I'd love to have more of them.

The pin striping looks funny to me on the front fender, but that could be me.

From the rust on the spokes and the rim discolorations, and the slightly faded look on some of the black paint (such as the headlight ears) I would guess this bike has seen some weather and sun, then was repainted with an eye on preserving the "used" patina on the rest of the bike. In short it looks like a well used airhead with a new paint job.

It's a wonderful bike and would certainly satisfy my lust for a R90S.

What about the reflectors on the fork sliders?
