I assume your talking about including the number board for the SP5 too?

I was going off of the SP4 scheme cos I don't want people to keep asking "Is that an SP4/S?" and then having to explain it's just my bitsa project.

Jools,

Sounds like the bike you've just bought.

Oh....so it does

I actually like that yellow one, it looks different but the 888 shape seems to suit yellow and carry it of very well. Very cool. I'm intrigued by the seat pad on it as well, that looks interesting.

I've seen some black ones as well and they look very horny, but thinking about this I think that the 888 would look fabulous in quite a few colours as long as the paint job allows the shape of the bike to speak for itself. I know it's not exactly 888 tradition but even colours like an Imola silver might work...like I say, not if you want the bike to be in touch with it's history but...

As long as the paint job doesn't get in the way of the bikes lines. The number board on the fairing of the SP4 just seems to interupt the clean lines somehow and doesn't work for me...not that I would let that put me off owning a real SP4 mind.

The same goes for stickers, I find most sticker kits get in the way and break the bike up too much. What I was surprised about was that even applying a single Agip sticker to each side of the fairing it wasn't just a question of slapping them on. Originally I thought they would work if the back edge of them was parallel with the front edge of the air vent and about 2 inches in front. Nope, if you put them absolutely parallel to the airvent they don't look right to me, you need to cant them over so that the top is ever so slightly forward, it's only about 5mm but it don't half make a difference. I fiddled around for ages before I settled on the right position for them...all that just to get a single sticker to look right.

Jools,

The seat pad is a Corbin. I have one and it makes 100+ miles bearable.

Rgds, Rob

sp

but put the numberboards on as stickers - not painted on.

That way if you get bored you can just take em off.
