Obviousliy a copy, what`s strange is the blue infront of the M as that should be green

Hi G.
I looked at your link to the M1R decals.
you're right about the funny blue/green colour. If I should order them, I still have doubts about the colour. So I think these decals shold be left alone.
I remember a Laverda enthousiast in Holland I met a couple of yeaers ago, maybe he can help me out with the red/green decals.
(Ich halte Sie auf dem laufendem :mrgreen: )

There were many different M1R stickers.
I remember "M1R" written both in red and in white.
You'll see in white on the 907's test on the Italian magazine "Motociclismo".
There, the M of Marzocchi was azure and blue....
Ciao

I`ve seen M1R stickers with white letters only on 907ies.
The blue on the ebay sticker is for sure an incorrect copy. That field should be alsways green. Every company`s logo follows a CI specification where every single colour is fixed.

Gerhard,
if you see the Motociclismo's test of the 907, on its "M1R" stickers the field is azure.

I was confirmed that the blue on the picture is actually green so I got me some.
Does anyone have the original measurements to compare when I get them ?

when I compare the sticker with the .pdf made from my sticker there are a few mismatches. :?
The shape of the "M" seems to be a little tapered and the point of "1" sharp.
on the sticker of the 907 this "1" is blunt.
about the colours I can't say anything.

ducbertus, you`re absolutely right. The clear gap around the letters also seems minimally smaller.
Only a perfectionist knowing the original sticker could tell.
I got myself a pair and the overall quality is really good.
I wonder if the measurements match with the original sticker.
The red outline is 43mmx100mm, the first letter M is 24mm wide 22mm high. Can anyone compare ?
