Fairing lowers colour?

Post by Watty »

Recently bought power bronze lowers from AP in custard 8O , so do I! Try and colour match it to my bike which is near on impossible to get perfect without blending into next panel, or do I do it a contrast colour as in silver or black? Opinions/suggestions please, including Tealist abuse :lol:

I think I'd get the lowers colour matched to the wheels :thumbup:

Or white wheels & belly pan.. with dare I say it... teal pinstripes on the outer rims of the wheels!

What are your thoughts on colour options?

Well if I could get a good colour match to bike I'd go with that and maybe some silver Honda decals on there. But silver is probably second choice :? . Don't really want to paint wheels this year as I'm over budget already and still got stuff to buy yet :roll: :lol:

I would most likely go with the suggestion of painting the lowers silver to match the wheels, although really it's down to personal choice.

Ok, i'm really going out on a (soon to be cut off) limb here...

I really like the silver wheels with the teal, so I think you've got no choice, silver belly pan! :lol: :)
