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.

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

That was/is quite typical for Italian factories....

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.

quite uncommon colour variations in company logos. Guess Antti is right - italians ...

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 ?
