Got some MV decals I'm putting on the fairing RH and LH panels to break up the large mass of silver. Seen quite a few MV's done in a similar way. Do I need to put laquer over the top to protect them once in situ?
IMHO, I wouldn't. Sure, a cover of clear would protect them better, but you chance having your panel messed up and it looking different than the others. Besides, there are a lot of bikes out there that come with stickers on top of the clear stock. If you're really concerned, buy two sets of stickers and replace them at some point. A hair dryer is usually sufficient to help get a sticker off.

Thanks Jack, I've actually put them on spare fairing panels I bought anyway. Just got a RH panel (with a few scratches but no cracks) for £40 from everybodys favourite ebay.
The pic on the initial post has the new MV decal in the centre of the panel Graham. I've also got some MV Corse decals like the one Ryan (rramseyr) has for his avatar. But I don't want to go overboard with them and make it look too cluttered. I don't know how to post the pics full size. When I add them to a post it says there is a 39 Kb limit and I have to reduce them to fit. Can someone explain how to get round this please. Alvin can you advise or anyone with more computer manipulative knowledge than me?
You'd have to host the pics online somewhere (photobucket or ?). Put them into you album and they will be bigger 250K? or something.
Jap bikes only clear over tank decals. If they comes off, no great lo$$. As opposed to the trouble if you do clear over them, and want them gone :shocker:

John,
I agree about that huge expanse of silver, and the 'new' corse badge looks really good, I have the small on on my rear carbon guard....come from MV like that and of course its been laquered over, dose look good like that.
But I might try just stick on one for a while and can always change my mind.
I just bought a set of these and like I told the guy in England, they are unusable. He was very professional and refunded my money so I left him good feed back but they are as far from stock as can be and not in a good direction. I had Scott at SRS Sign Design do up the decal set as he already had most of it that he did for that Tam that got repainted from whatever happened at Ferracci over the sliders. The quality of the SRS product is outstanding. You can not tell them from stock. They are printed on the clear background and unlike the ones from England done in the correct font. Scott also has the CRC and Italian raised gel badges for the sides of the air runners and the Corse badge. Scott also has the best Ducati Corse badges available even from Ducati.
If it is not PERFECT it does not go on my bike.

Tell him Chris from Cycle Cat sent you.
I thought I'd resurrect this thread rather than start a fresh one. I've added a few more decals to the fairing. The silver F4 on the red section and the Agusta on the bellypan. I'd like your opinions please. Have I gone too far, :bawling: or does it look OK. :smoking: BTW these are spare fairing panels I've got off ebay so I don't mind experimenting with them. Thanks for your opinions.

my opinion? a little redundant. the minimal use of decals helps to accentuate the lines of the bike. less shapes. no need to have agusta 2 times on one side. and if you keep the gear on the side, i'd loose the stock mvagusta decal...you could keep the f4 decal then. just my 2pesos.
I think two of the same decal in your vision at the same time is not so good. I am also not a fan of the two badges on the front fairing. I have wondered what the large gear logo would look like if you put it in th eupper corner instead of the stock decal on the sides.
Hi to one and all, i would love to see your F4.
Please can you put a Photo of your F4 on this thread :)
It would be cool to see them all together ...................
Has anyone found a list of parts from the newer Gen bikes that can be used on the earlier models? I’ve found that many parts on my bike can be traced back to the 916 Ducati era and given that a lot of designs were simply reused it seems natural that some items would be geometrically the same and...
So, I’ve been searching all over the place for a corse carbon fiber fairing to replace the one that was on the left side of my bike (see pics). My son took my bike without asking and low-sided it upon hitting some gravel. I was devastated. As much with my son as with the motorcycle. I had a...
G'day All,
Why oh why didn't you lot warn me that these MVs' are addictive? Now look at the mess that I'm in. The 750 with the gray wheels is my sons. The 1000 is the latest aqisition...
