I wrapped my silver side panels in carbon fiber (2013) just to be different . Could always go back to silver if I changed my mind.

The side panel of my bike is black like the tank, so no complaints there. It is the plastic fuel injector cover that I find near-unacceptable, especially compared to the high-quality rest of the bike. Still not sure what to do about it - I might give it a try and cover it with shiny black vinyl and see how it turns out.

Boy, those sure are pretty.

Nice cheques, Bio! I like your bike.

Is that a lumimoto seat cover? What's your review?

I agree with op. Had I opted for red over black, I would've gotten matching side covers faster than license plates.

2017EX panels have a chrome strip on them.

I go back and forth as to which looks better...

Never really thought about the black injector cover. To me it just sort of blends into the engine area.

RE: What the sam he** was honda thinking ? - GoldOxide_imp - 01-21-2023

Agreed. Besides, the lump is the centerpiece.

Boy, those sure are expensive (for just some pieces of plastic)... I think I will try the vinyl option first.

Yes, it is a Luimoto cover. I like it. Very well made and so far it seems to last. If anything, it may be just a little large but that was OK for me, as I installed it *over* the original seat cover, just in case I (or a potential future buyer) want to go back to the OEM cover.
