Opinions Needed Please

[Andy Hird]

I've just painted the beak and tank cover black on my 06 Adventure, but can't decide wether to go with the silver or black knee covers.

Can I have your honest opinions please ?

silver. it goes with the rocker covers and panniers.

edit: if you don't fit the panniers, the black/grey looks meaner.

silver. it goes with the rocker covers and panniers. +1

Prefer the silver panel look. Matches with the varios nicely besides theres a lot of all black adventures already out there.

 

[Aggy]

Silver panel. It adds a highlight to the bikes shape and breaks up what would be a solid block of a dark colour that shows little detail.

Black, cos I can't be seen to agree with Cookie


How about a nice zebra effect, i'm sure that would look good & I doubt anybody has done that before

One of the Portugeezers on our trip last Oct had that on his 1200- I'll try and find a pic

FWIW, I prefer the silver version too.......for the same reason as Aggy

Another one for silver

black for me,
looks v nice in black methinks and i havent seen that many in that scheme,powder coat the head guards and it balences again imo

 

[Magwych]

and it's black from me...smooths the lines and looks more complete, less a collection of separate components.

 

[RickG]

Brown all over, then there's no need to clean it

 

[GOOSEVULCAN]

Hmmmmm, I like em both but i think the Silver just sneaks my vote.

 

[Yonkyo]

Hell, you shoulda kept it white. But that’s just my opinion.

I’m thinking of painting the beak and tank on my GSA white…….

 

[Alf Garnett]

leave it as it is,it looks good.....

Still got the white beak and tank cover for when I sell it. I like the white and might go back to it....though I'll get the pannier lids sprayed matt black if I do. I'm also toying with getting the beak and tank cover sprayed aluminium silver.

Silver for me

Now that looks quite nice....needs some better pics though, to much going on in that garage
