With or Without???
« on: March 24, 2010, 08:16 PM »
Managed to get my plate finished tonight for my Skyway TA Race build but when i've put it on i'm not sure I like it  :-\

I think the plate looks pretty good but i'm just not sure if it's right on the bike

What do you reckon?

With..............



or without.........

Dale , spoke on Sunday about the T/A didn't know it was gonna be that nice :4_17_5:

I've had the same quandry with some builds , as I like to have a plate for all my builds but sometimes they don't always benefit.

I just like having the plates because adding all the old school logos onthem  ,takes me right back to reading the old magazines   :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:

Like Woody said , maybe look at the other colourways ref the small wing decals on the plate & have Del knock an alternative colour up ? .

I like it with the plate but it is a shame it covers the stickers on the bars. Take of the ACS and Mushroom stickers though. For one you havent got Mushrooms on it  ;)

And get some brake blocks!!!!  :LolLolLolLol:

With!! but my advice would be not to race it until you fit a chain (brake blocks are optional!) ..... Sweet ride Dale sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet...

Like others have said it looks nice both ways, BUT...........

For me personally I prefer "show builds" without a plate - I like to see the bars  8)

But that's just my take - Race plates for racing or hanging on the wall, or maybe for rider replica builds  :-\

Lovely bike though  :daumenhoch:

Why pay for a Pad and cover it with a plate.  Without the plate for me!  :daumenhoch:
