2017 CB1100EX Color matched side covers

[pdedse]

Was browsing bikes for sale and found this '17 in LA. I noticed the side cover...black.

Red...or silver...or now...black? I hate red, the silver covers make me look at the side cover...but this black cover blends in nice and makes the red tank look, well... almost nearly beautiful...except that it too is red.



Edit: forgot to add...w/ black side covers, now the eye focuses on the dominant red and the engine side cases, engine cover and fins. This is what should stand out: tank and engine--it's what's interesting. The side cover is just a cover...it doesn't do anything, except...cover. So in black the side cover fades into the background so to speak and the bike has a more pleasing look.

That's my aesthetic stance.

And it's the right one.
