Posted: Wed May 06, 2020 7:26 pm Post subject: YB8E fork decal position |
|
|
Reaching the end of my lockdown YB8E rebuild...
When I got the bike the Piaoli stickers on the forks were facing forwards. However, I've seen others that face out. How will it have left the factory? Or is it a case of what they felt like on the day?
Thanks
Jim |

I don’t have a YB, but the Paioli forks o my DB4 have the stickers on the side. There’s a raised circular outline cast on the fork bottom for the sticker to sit in. Not sure if the YB’s are the same?

Have you been able to buy these Paioli stickers anywhere? I searched for them at one stage but couldn’t find them. I’m missing one of them _________________ '99 DB4 #104, '96 SB6 #1165, '94 DB2 J #652, '99 DB4 #088, '08 VTX1800, '93 ZXR750R M1, '95 ZXR750, '95 ZXR750 Race Bike, '94 CBR400rr NC29 Race Bike, '94 CB250, '49 BSA C10 250, '61 BSA A10 650, '89 ZXR750, '91 Ducati 851 |

DB2 doesn’t have the little round raised plastic Paioli stickers.
Although I now have 2 x DB4’s and each bike has one sticker and one missing . So I’ll probably transplant one so that my good DB4 has two and the track DB4 will have to go without _________________ '99 DB4 #104, '96 SB6 #1165, '94 DB2 J #652, '99 DB4 #088, '08 VTX1800, '93 ZXR750R M1, '95 ZXR750, '95 ZXR750 Race Bike, '94 CBR400rr NC29 Race Bike, '94 CB250, '49 BSA C10 250, '61 BSA A10 650, '89 ZXR750, '91 Ducati 851 |

If you peeled them off...you'd find they are clear colourless vinyl...with just black paioli lettering....I have them on the silver fork tops on my db2...a vinyl graphics company shed be able to print some off |

Yes, that’ll probably be the route I go as can’t find any the right size and font. _________________ Not as many bikes as I would like and already too many to keep up with! |

ImageWorks are masters at this sort of thing, I've used them several times.

18mm so these are the right size. Cheap at only 2.33€ each..... But 25.90€ for postage to Australia and they won’t do cheaper postage _________________ '99 DB4 #104, '96 SB6 #1165, '94 DB2 J #652, '99 DB4 #088, '08 VTX1800, '93 ZXR750R M1, '95 ZXR750, '95 ZXR750 Race Bike, '94 CBR400rr NC29 Race Bike, '94 CB250, '49 BSA C10 250, '61 BSA A10 650, '89 ZXR750, '91 Ducati 851 |
