Next project is chainring the brown seat to a more practical black one.

That was the first thing I did to mine and I thought it looked so much better in black.  

Make sure to take pictures of the underneath before you start.

Just a belated thought here.....you can still get those R65 decals for the battery covers. Now if someone doesn't chirp in immediately I might have the time to try and find the source.

There I think I might have found a good source which everyone likes for good service and reasonable postal timing and rates. I did see the R65 although the above link would seem to be just a link to the page for R90

I got mine through my local dealer, before they closed up shop.
