    Bing carburetors are the R90/6’s. Your beautiful TT Silver Smoke has gota Dell’Orto 38. They are a bit more temperamental than the Bings.

    The R90s has Dell'Orto carbs not Bing. Also Dell'Ortos don't have ticklers.

      Trust Syd. He is correct. I have a 1976 Silver Smoke. All R90s had DelOrtos. He obviously needs a serious tuneup.

      Yes they had Dellorto PHM carbs. Some of these had ticklers.

    Not sure what to say about those rusty brake disks. Are you sure he rode it there? The bike sounded as if he hadn't started it in several years. But love my airheads

      It’s an old bike 🤷🏼‍♂️ he rode the whole week with no mechanical issues. A very experienced rider, looked very smooth on the road 👊🏻

      cast iron discs. people change from the stainless ones for better braking. probably very salty roads before riding to parking space. Saying that his battery was nearly flat and I don't think he was particularly mechanically minded!

      It just seems with all the riding he did would have cleaned up the disc a little more. I believe he rode it. I am just surpised

    Just look if the engine and the frame numbers are similar. Look at Mark Huggett site and you'll know if your bike is an original R 90/ S. " Month and year of production. Write only the six first frame numbers!!
    Sadly, your seat is not original, and the/ S has no fork gaiters.
    Excuse me for my poor english, I' m a swiss citizen and I' ve learned english at high school.
    Have a R 90/ S in my garage, with matching numbers.
