 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

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

I recon that’s very close to the size Ralf, I’ll check mine today. Thanks for the heads up, I’ll order some if they are the right size

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.

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
