Great job.
But I wonder if you made some other decals for Honda or Ducati?
I'm not the biggest Yamaha fan. Lorenzo is ok but Rossi?

The big problem is simply finding pictures of the start boxes in order to know exactly what stickers were placed on them.

I had reliable pictures of these drivers:
- 46 Rossi
- 99 Lorenzo
- 44 Espargaro
That's why I created this first.
Greetings Thomas

Ok that's a good point. Without some good pics it's not easy
What about a "universal" one?
With some decals from the manufacturer and some starting numbers from the others. Just to make it "look right"to the other bikes.

It might be worth considering making an additional decal sheet as an add-on to the set.
But it wouldn't be bad to know what kind of drivers are favored by the users ;)

Just took a quick Google search.
The modern bikes got some different starters.
But yours is very nice and I would definitely need one.
Did you make a test with a bike on it. Can I use it without a normal stand only with yours?

@Guido: Kommt mir nicht ins Haus der gute 46iger. Zumindest nicht solange ich nicht 10 andere Bikes gebaut habe. 😉😉

Cool topic here!
Yes the actuall bikes have sometimes different starters, but for a long decade the "roll" starters have been used. If you want to go back to 500 class, the starters have been gasoline powered. :D
Here are a few examples for old school starters
