I have a white 2015 EX and they come already with color matching side covers. But the cover shape is different, covering partially the frame and connecting to the tank. Honestly I prefer the shape on all other models and was thinking in switching them. Do you guys know if it fits directly or needs some workaround? TIA

They won’t fit directly as the grommets are in different places.

Can they be made to fit? Others will have to chime in.

Thanks for your answer.
That's a bummer... hope someone found a way to do it and can share it.

Rod have a good search on the forum. I thought at least one member managed to swap them, although maybe from the EX/DLX to the standard.

Sorry, I'm in the minority. I like contrast. +1 for the silver.

[peterbaron]

I think is less effort to convert into smaller type you want.

Red all the way.

I'm also one of the few who prefer the silver.

Before I got my red CB I was thinking about getting a green paintjob done like the Brixton Cromwell 1200 that has not been released yet. For that I would have gone with green covers. But the current red is too nice to mess with.
