Default black hugger on blue bike

Has anyone fitted a black hugger to a blue bike....

I have a candy blue pointy with a dark(basically black) screen....

I am thinking a black hugger may look decent...

Can any one tell me if i am right or will it look ****!

When I had my K3 I went for a black hugger and I thought it looked very nice. You have naturally black accents on the bike anyway, original under tray, grips, seats, pipes etc. so repreats that theme.

I had a black carbon hugger on a blue K5. Black is the only acceptable colour for a hugger - colour-matched ones look utterly gash.

Standard tyres and chain guard are black. IMHO, coloured huggers look OTT!

I went for the Black option as it would have been too much blue on the bike , I want people`s eyes to be drawn to the main bulk of the bike and the front end , not the back end . Plus it matched the Fender Extenda too

Black every time.
Subtle enough to not become an eye sore but still cleans up the rear end nicely.

Black is always good.

I know its the wrong generation, and the wrong blue...but an opportunity to tart should never be missed!
