  1. It looks well mate, I would leave it. I have the red wheel stripes on mine, kind of breaks the black wheels up a bit. My mate did his but sort of copied the fila wheels, red front wheel stripes and white rear, sounds kack but it works and looks well. Nice pics.
     
  2. Yeah, I really think the magnetti one has to go, all the others look fine, I thought they had Siemens ECU anyway, either way the rest looks okay, it's a tidy bike
     
  3. In your close up picture of your nose cone. Have a look at your RHS fairing where it joins the nose cone. The gap looks slightly larger than it should be. There is a tab on the fairing that has to sit correctly. If not you get a gap.

  4. The marelli ones could go, rest looks ok altho for my tasteI'm not a fan of the Italian flag thingy on the no boards
     
  5. Stickers have no class. You don`t see Ferraris with cheap slogans slapped on them.

  6. Back to pouring rain and 1 degree, next sunny day some of the stickers will be coming off until I'm happy
     
  7. Doesn`t count Bradders.
    ahem...
     
  8. Removed all the stickers and number boards, now only problem is some of the residue the numberboards have left around the edges, tried tcut which helped with some sticky bits but the edges are still noticeable, any ideas what to use to shift it that won't damage the paint?
     
  9. Tar remover or petrol.
     
  10. Isolpropyl alcohol. Get it from chemist.
     
  11. Too late.

    it seemed obvious that the Italian flag stickers and the side tank protectors were naff, whilst the Ducati Performance sticker, the Magneti Marelli one and the number boards looked good and made the bike a bit more individual and interesting.

    Oh well. Not my bike.
     
  12. I'll be going my own way with it, starting on a blank canvas so to speak as one of the other forum members suggested
     
  13. how weird... we are all here trying to keep our bikes as original as possible and not to stick ANYTHING on them, and in other countries it is quite the opposite. i've just joined ducati russia forum (i am from moscow originally) and everyone there modifying their bikes to death... everything being changed after purchase and every possible sticker is going on.
     
  14. Without wishing to be rude to Russians, I have yet to be convinced that as a population, they are arbiters of good taste.

    I wouldn't be blithely following what the Americans get up to, either.
     
  15. Use WD40 to get residue off:upyeah:
