Black? Or Silver? - SV650.org

MitchC · 04-12-04, 05:40 AM

Hey,

I need a quick advice. I am thinking of getting lens covers this weekend thru Debs. (Thank you Debs ) And was wondering, what colour of lens covers would look better on my silver K3 which has a dark smoke double bubble windscreen:

Iridium Silver (Titanium)

^^Picture to show colour ^^

Dark Smoke (Black)

Thanks,

Mitch

Dark screen = dark lenses.

Irridy scren = irridy lenses.

Seems best to me.

The smoked ones do look fantastic on a silver bike.
I haven't seen the silver ones, though.

The very bike and lens covers.

No contest really

Hey Viney,

Are those headlights covers from Powerbronze? Are they mounted with velcro? Thanks,

Mitch

They'll both potentially get you in bother with the law unless you're on a daytime-only MOT, as well as making you harder to see... But the dark ones would look brilliant. The ones for the original bike aren't so hot, I've got a clear set on all the time and a smoked set for special occasions, but they look very "stuck on"

id say anything that makes u less visible isnt worth it.

but if uve GOTTA have some id go for the dark ones.

Don't think he'd really care as he's in Canada

Damn you with your observation skills! Still, the other point about visibility holds, especially with people as unobservant as me about
