A question of style???

[badgerKDD]

Ok a little help here, having now re sprayed my tail unit and front cowl with Sheene homage colours I can't decide wether to use the '7' logo on the cowl or not:


Without logo..


and with logo..

What do you lot reckon then?

And cos I'm pleased with it, heres a closeup of the tail unit

gotta go ful sheene, everytime, don't forget to get pi$$ed, shag miss world and then smoke a tab in the garage before going for a ride tho

I'd say leave the 7 off... those in the know will know...

[badgerKDD]

Ok so thats one each way.. agree on both counts so still can't decide, although veering towards leaving it off!

Paying homage to sheeney you will need the seven i reckon

I just thought, is the 7 going to have that yellow background? if not then go for it, the single black 7 on the white will look mint.

Well I was trying to keep it to one small one, subtle ish, so opted for the front cowl idea, just not sure if it makes out I'm a wanna be racer rather than just a fan?

I know it should'nt matter, after all its my bike, but my wife wasn't convinced so leading to my indescision.

ahh but those who know will ask, where is the number 7 ?

Good point!

I like that idea, didn't think of it that way, just went with the obvious 7 on yellow. I will do some playing about on that one, cheers!

7 on a white background would look better than yellow background. The paint looks like it needs more lacquer, but that may just be the light. But it does look good I like Sheene rep paintwork.

I've just checked the photos in my copy of his biography, and the number boards for the 500cc class were yellow with black numbers - that keeps it more authentic (though he didn't have any Alpinestars logos on his bike) - the yellow oval would be improved by having a narrow black border IMHO

The Alpinestars logo is for myself and I know its not pure Sheene, but the paint job and no. is supposed to be a nod to him, rather than a full bore rep, as that wouldn't suit the bikes style - modern cafe/ naked. Bearing that in mind I'm really into the black 7 on the white stripe, maybe that would lessen the direct race rep connatations?

hate to admit it but i agree with funky on this

No number 7, it's obvious enough as it is, if it were a fully faired bike then maybe.

What you're desperately missing are the Brut logos!!

[badgerKDD]

Find me some stickers and I'll definately put them on! Does Brut still exsist? I stopped splashing it all over years ago !
