Hard to tell from photos--are the CB1100 stickers that come with the red side covers in white or silver? And if silver, how close a match to the silver striping on the gas tank?

The stickers are silver and are a very close match to the gas tank stripe, it also matches several other silver parts on the bike. Nice look overall. Easier to read than the 3D Chrome badge. I was actually debating weather or not to order the replacement chrome emblems or not as it looked great. However, I decided to stay true to the bike and replace the 3D emblems.

That looks great. I always thought the silver covers made it look incomplete.

That does look awesome!

Did the 2d decal just peel right off?

Yes. It took some doing, but it is just a decal / sticker...

That looks great. A small, yet significant upgrade.

I just gotta say, the more I look at your bike, the more I like those side covers. They really make the bike pop IMO. I'm going to have to think about getting some--later this year, but getting some.

Guess I could at least order the 3d badges and have them ready...

Just ordered a set of matching side covers. BB thanks for the pictures, it really put me over the fence.
I think the bike looks a lot better with the red covers.

Not at all. I did the same. Glad you like it as much as I do. I can't stop starring at it. Going to my garage allot... cant wait to get back on the road. The covers might be a little pricy but not that bad relative to other products to get the that look!!

P.S. If you click on the picture it will get you to my Photobucket CB1100 library with other pictures if you're interested.
