  5. Nah leave the mirrors they look much nicer colour coded! Can’t really see rear sets, maybe just power coated.

  6. DP style by the looks of it. Very in keeping with an SPS of the era.

  11. Very tidy example.
    As I have said before on here the DP rearsets are one of the best things I have done on mine.
    Red mirrors do look better, bubble screen is better for the occasional exploration of the performance on private or unrestricted tarmac.
    The only thing I don't like is the white number board on the nose, mine had one on and I took it off.
    Enjoy it - and Ride It !

  12. The 916 has - like for many others - been a poster bike for me for as long as I can remember. It'll be ridden, no question. Won't be no garage queen. Just need to get the bugger down from Yorkshire to here.

  13. Mines got red mirrors, I'd prefer the black ones.

  14. Very nice indeedy! Prefer with the front number board off and original black mirrors, but lovely bike :)
     
  15. The front number board is defo going for a walk. Undecided about the mirrors. I think I might ditch them, is the current thinking.

    Best version of all the 916 to 998 derivatives in my opinion.
