My 01's new look..what do you guys think??

Put it back as standard M8, some things are best just left alone.

Superb bike and one to be proud of !!!
 
here's something more to the point. Your seat looks different. Have you had a bit cut out? Looks a bit uncomfortable, needs a notch cutting in it to cradle your knackers don't it? Also, have you only recently put that cable tie on there, if so your suspension is wrong (or you haven't been riding very hard), the cable tie should only be a couple mm up from the bottom of the fork leg or your forks are not using enough travel.

its a corbin seat and its better than stock IMO and looks great. I had just put the cable tie on there that day and then rode out to take some pics. I believe also if your tie goes that low your fork internals are about shot. I would think they shouldn't be getting that close to bottoming out. Now I'm thinking of removing the Rotax sticker on the side and adding a green/white/red strip to the tail.

How much would a standard sticker set cost for my bike thru AF1 racing? I see part numbers but no prices.

I get the vibe that your getting a little uppity with me Mr Chow. Dont know why. You asked for our opinion on an open forum and I gave you mine. Simple. I didnt mean to hurt your feelings but you did ask.

I think we need to stop talking about stickers and start talking about colour...............YOU ALL KNOW BLACK AND RED is the best.

not really...i do want everyone's opinion. I just wanted to see what the front of your bike looks like. I'm still trying to get some ideas for mine. Of all the 99-00s that I've seen yours is very sharp. I like how you incorporated the 01-03 subframe cover. Blue is best no doubt.
 
Sorry Mr. Chow, don't like your new look - no coherence to it. But don't put it back to standard - work on some ideas of your own and get an awesome custom paint job done on it. How about something like STL's but with the Italian and US flags intertwined, or the US eagle wrestling the Aprilia lion across the tank.
Give us something special!

there's going to be the italian flag stripe along the lower part of the tail soon I think...and the rotax stickers are going in the bin I think...they kinda look like a bumper sticker with closer examination...I think other than that the coherence is there...what part of it seems random? Its not like its loaded with DC stickers and "no fat chicks" decals on the cowl.
 
big "bumper sticker" ROTAX is now removed...I like it much better now.
 
It would look a whole lot better in BLACK.....................thats my opinion...
 
I prefer the original mate, but different ships different cap talliies. Have always liked the standard paint/sticker jobs as I have on all my bikes. My plan this winter though is to buy a cheap set of fairings and tank to make a Bradley Smith 2010 Aspar replica (when it comes out). Want to keep all original paintwork for re-sale.
