Looks like a quality finish, but in truth I prefer the original.

Why make the archetypal 916 shape look like an MV?

If you want an MV, get an MV, if you want to be different, buy a 999 ;)

Clean bike though

It looks nice but needs the back of the seat pad reshaping to suit.

Not to my taste either, but then nor are a lot of the mods you other guys get up to :rodent:

I would have kept it original - it looked great!

Thanks for the comments guys.
Looks like its a thumbs down so far. I have the original seat unit sprayed up as well so maybe I need to revert to this!! Although that is a bip unit.....

Each to their own I guess....

Whatever floats your boat Nick. If you like it run with it.

I wouldn't do it to mine but I think you've got a very well finished end product. No point swapping it back if you like it.

Enjoy :D

Infact, I don't mind the MV seat unit on the 9**/7** bikes. I think it makes them look differant, but horrible. Another rear end on those bikes is the QB Carbon 'sedici carbon seat unit. Makes the bike look very differant. Somone in the Oxford group has done this, and I like it.

But mate, what you like, your bike after all.

I like it. But trim the seat up to follow the line of the unit.

Looks good. Remember, it's your bike. If you are happy with how it looks then that is what is important

Hi Guys
Weeian - sorry mate not me. I havent been to Scotland on my bike yet. Hope to soon though....

L3oony - see attached file for shot from the back.....

Cheers for all the replies guys. Nice to hear what you all think of the bike. I have set it up for easy swapping between the bip and this unit, so it may be a case of switching them while I sort out the seat cushion for a trim!!
