I liked the way my 999S Parts Unlimited was a very close copy of Bostrom's, not exact, but close as far as paint and sponsor decals went.
The Nicky 848 was not as close to the real race bike. Not only in all the missing decals, but also the colors and placement are a little different.
I wanted to spruce mine up and make it look a bit more race-replica, but ran into some issues. First, the fairings are different shapes, with vents in different places, etc... Second, Ducati put some other graphics and colors in different places where you would want to put the stuff from Nicky's GP bike.
So, I simply decided to go to my painter, who also has a plotter and can whip up some vinyl decals in minutes, to create a more race replica look. So we took various decals from Nicky's bike, and simply adapted them to my hayden Edition 848, and here are the results...
