retro side cover for 2013 - vegasdriver_imp - 03-11-2016
I have a red 2013. I did not like the silver triangle side covers. After looking around on internet, I could not get an answer from japan or Netherlands about color code of their offerings. I did like the daytona brand ko style side covers. They said candy red, but the 2014 candy red is a little different. I ordered a set for the deluxe 2014 from a honda dealer. The color is so close, that I have to really look in the sun for any shade or tone difference. Because of the bends, shadows and curves in the tank, near the side covers it looks fantastic. 235.00 delivered to my house. I wanted a fake oil cap, but I will get over it. They look amazing. (and i am very picky about details.) now for a 4 into 4 exhaust.

2013 is Candy Glory Red. Code R101CU
2014 is Candy Alizarin Code R345 or R345C or the Colorrite site as reported on this board.
I think the paint code is on a sticker on your frame under the seat. Someone here could give you the '14 code. Touch up paint is available from the dealer too.
Post up a pic of your bike. We'd love to see it. Bet it looks great with your new covers!

Makes sense. If you change your mind on keeping them, let me know. I'm thinking they might look good on the black standard.

You can get an idea of what they might look like if you look at my bike. I have a 13 that I put a JDM dark blue tank on and it can be confused for black sometimes.

Looks sharp Randy! I was thinking silver sides and road comet to give it a little color as my rims and engine are all black
But I'm also contemplating getting my tank and side covers repainted in an old school green with gold stripe.... Tough choices.

Use a hosting site like photobucket. That's what I do.

Yeah, but....
I use Smugmug for hosting. Tried to post a picture here the other day. Spent over an hour on it. No joy. Reduced the size to "tiny" and it still wouldn't work. Then I tried to post on ADVrider as a test, and my first attempt, using "medium" size went through no problem. Took less time than to type this sentence. No idea why this forum is different, but it was quite "frustrating" to say the least. :-(
