Desmoworld Number Decals on 696 Seat Cowl

[joebar696]

This is how it looks on my bike. Just finished mounting them. Not very easy but a very good manual. What do you think? In my opinion it somehow disturbs the visual balance of the bike. Now the front part misses some white color. Think I'll opt for another color. White beeing a little to aggressive.

hahahha that was the first thing i was going to say. really i couldnt appreciate the rest of the bike, i couldnt stop staring at it.

after i got to the bottom pics though i was able to see things better, and the white looks really nice. good job.

ahhh da schau an , hast doch gut hinbekommen, ich finds gut  

i only say i like the result, its not so easy but he do a good job ... of course our EASY POSITIONING SYSTEM helps him i think

ahhh another German plate. I get my new KL plates soon.

loving the number panels though. If I pull off the 848 front end, I will have to seriously think about these with a front number panel

GERMAN PLATES

i'm sure they can read our plates from outer space ... noo outer outer space ... jupiter

been down in the Garage and watching the bike for like 20 minutes. I came to the conclusion, that it really is the white which doesnt fit in my eys. I think white would look much better on glossy black color.

Another question which I'm asking myself is the choice of a complementary color to match the mat black of my bike. My idea at the moment: DARK BROWN. I could really see a seat with a combination of dark brown nappa leather on the passenger seat area and a little lighter suede on the driver area (perforated like summer leather jackets).

I see a small checkered flag decal on the front fender in darkgrey(anthracite)/darkbrown silk mat.

For this combination a number panel in darkgrey/darkbrown would be perfect.

Chris: Could you produce decals with such a combination (custom color codes)?

@all others: What do you think of my color ideas?

@chris: another good thing for the desmoworld catalogue would be starting numbers decals which fit right in the number panel + a matching decal for the front fender...

To my eyes.....  the seat cowl's white number decals.... are a little over-powering.... draws my attention too greatly....  almost as much as.... the berlin nummer shild...  sorry to say
