Thanks Rocky. It looked lighter, but hard to tell on a computer monitor sometimes.

Yes, I agree. You can't always go by what you see on a screen.
This is a pic of my bike taken last year on a sunny day.

I have not been a fan of the "all black" bike, nothing personal, but seeing the all black bike with the blue tank really looks killer, I always believed that the side cover should match the tank, but man this is to close for me to call, either way I think it would look good....Beer

I can say that the blue black looks really good. I have the spenser blue tank (Canadian model) and side covers are matt black and match the engine (which is partially blacked out as well).
I've grown to love the look and wouldnt change it. In fact I bought a RC2 in matt black from Mr T and it sets the bike off nicely with contrasting but complementary color schemes.. of course thats IMHO.
I have side paniers that in the off season i plan to paint in matt as well.
The blue side covers could also look great-if someone gets them done please post pics. would love to see them..
Thanks - just remember:
all Honda CB11's are awesome regardless of the colors Wink

Wow Yellowdog that looks fantastic!!!
I also have a black CB1100 and would love a blue tank. What is the name of that blue? Did the tank fit properly?
Thanks,
Dino

Thanks everyone. It seems to be the Spencer Blue. Delivery to the East Coast from Japan in 6 days. Part is OEM, so fitment is perfect.
Love seeing everyone's bikes. The OEM blue from Canada with the aluminum accents and the more subdued blue. Can't believe no one has the matching blue side panels yet. I might just have to be the canary in the coal mine.

Thanks popgun.
Like jrns, I too have grown to like the contrasting matt look and probably wouldn't change it, but that said, I too would like to see what blue side panels look like Big Grin
