  1. I've recently purchased a single seat unit (white/red). Was considering (yet to decide!) having sprayed red like the 916 Strada and 998. Anyone done this? Thoughts on the looks versus the white/red?
     
  2. What is the standard?...I thought it was with white number boards both sides... I'm also going to be repainting my seat on my 996S mono just dug out of storage.
     
  3. Yes, the done thing seems to be the white number board look. Bike is a biposto as standard.
     
  4. Red and white number boards

  5. The OEM single seat option for the 996 Bip was a fully red rear seat and not the SPS style.

    my new 996 Bp Mj2000 was delivered in this configuration as it was an option at that time.

    but the 996s Mj2001 was delivered with the single seat with White sides in single seat variant... and it looks fantastic :)
     
  6. Thanks for the comments everyone. Yes, for clarity mine is MY2001 996S. White and red winning so far!

  8. Nice! I'm a fan of the carbon airbox and front mudguard in conjunction with the white/red tail.

  9. My strada with the full red mono tail was just... too red.

    The white SP tail really breaks it up a bit. I'd also say a carbon front guard is easier on the eye as well.
