I must say that the front fork would look better with some paint on it to separate the parts.
How did it go with the engine color, decided to skip it or have you repainted it already?

yeah i did paint some the front end but not in the picture.. and yeah i skipped the motor colors.. i need to buy some more colors to make it looks realistic..

Hi
welcome to the forum. The 916 is a great bike and I have it also in my pile.

The bike looks quit good, however I did find some seams on different places. Maybe you can try to sand the parts a bit more the next time, you will find that it will give a much better end result.

What color will you use on the bodywork?
