    I am currently doing research on the Ferrari/F4 bike.This one of a kind bike was orderd by ferrari from MV to celerbrate Shueys championship and constructors win in 1999 or 2000. I am planning on painting my F4 in this livery after carefull research.The problem i have is i can not make out some of the graphics on the side pic i have of the bike, the front and rear shots are very clear. I figure that there will be F1 experts on this part of F Chat that may be able to help me read them or better still post better pics and or explain what the product is or give me links to cleaner graphic shots. The ones i cant make out are as follows.... the small one right bellow the gas tank....the one to the left of BREMBO and MAHLE.......the three white ones above BREMBO & MAHLE on the side fairing......the blue one to the right of the front of the side fairing. Can you help or post better grapic pics for me please!!!!!

    What a cool idea/project! Pls post pics when you're done.

    As a general comment I recommend you get a 1/18 Ferrari from 1999. That should answer most questions and can serve you in case you need to take shots off the graphics. Finding some of these stickers will be tricky.

    The three letters below Brembo/mahle are: SKF. It is actually their logo and has its own unique font. Stands for "Schweizerische Kugellager Fabrik", which is a Swiss wheel bearing company. If you can't find any stickers from these guys, let me know. My former neighbour used to be the general importer for them.

    The blue sticker on the rear is FIAT, the blue in the front is something TIM. Don't know the company, but they are on the F1 car as well.

    Not to be nit-picky, but SKF stands for "Svenska Kullager Fabriken" (The Swedish Ball-bearing Factory)and it is a Swedish company, not Swiss. To make it easier for you to find stickers...

    Oops, my wrong. Yup, the S stands for Sweden, not Switzerland. Makes more sense now, since my former neighbour was the general importer. And he lived in Switzerland, so the bearings had to come from some place.
