Query on 916SPS Seat hump gold line

Afternoon, query for you all?

I’ve been looking to buy a 916SPS and have been to see one this week.

The gold line on the tail unit looks to have been applied by paint over the laquer - you can feel the lin eof paint with your finger as you run across the plastic.

I thought these were a gold decal under the laquer?

Any one got an original 1998 bike they can confirm for me?

Regards

Stuart

Hi Stuart

Sorry for the delayed reply, not checked in here for a few days.

From memory I think the line does appear to be quite thick. I will have a look in the garage for you and report back.
it may be Saturday before I get in there to take the covers off.

Had mine nearly 12 years and about 36000 miles now, so happy to answer any other questions you may have.

Steve
