Air Cleaner Cover Color
#1
The air cleaner cover (on both sides) of my 2014 Deluxe are light gray in color. Any picture I see of the Deluxe the covers are black. Does anyone else have light gray covers? Or know why mine are gray?

LOL... yeah, I guess I shouldn't leave it sitting outside.

Were any of the covers gray on any of the other years or models?
The black sure looks better.

Always black.

Dirt cheap and easy to replace-

17241-MGC-000 & 17242-MGC-000

Use code OEM10 for 10% off.

Reminder- I've got dibs on that exhaust. Wink

My 1976 CB750F side covers were a dark gray...until I painted them black.

Black is faster...it absorbs energy!

Krylon Fusion rattle can works well on plastic.

Mine are black too. You may be able to restore yours by applying a liquid "black renewal" product intended for restoring black plastic trim on cars.

Good idea LR. I've heard about guys doing that with the black plastic on the bags of their ST 1300s.

I've seen the pics of your bike on CL and it looks like someone definitely painted them gray. Did you buy yours used? If so, looks like the previous owner may have done that to make it "his own" (kinda like brown seats Tongue ).
