I have a 90 sport, great little bike! They have a lot of power for their size. I've taken it on some local rides and it keeps up with traffic suprisingly well. Bridgestones are some of the coolest looking bikes I think.

I don't think he is referring the sticker.  He is referring to that strange rear portion of the rear fender.  It has like a elephant man type growth on it.  I've never seen any BS90 like that.

Based on the tires I assume the modification was made to gain a little more suspension clearance. They got sick of hearing the rear tire rub on the fender. I kinda like it.

That's a BS 90 from around 65 or 66 without oil injection, yes it is stock and it's rare, not many made.
The frame is called a "humpback" they had a large cool decal that said 90 in a star burst, sort of.

I have seen of of them myself and have only seen a few in photo from friends

This original feature sure makes the bike stand out.  

Its really nice that Steve Reed has it, as he will do it up nicely.

There are a few photos in the GALLERY of other 90's with this frame, Check out the GALLERY 90 and 100 sections
