After seeing Peto's Buki's 06 at the Catskill Fall 08 ride and realizing that the 06 white is almost exactly the same as the 07 white on my RWB, I set out to get me some 06 bags. Did so and this is the result. Opinions?
Thats a good looking bike. Now you need a big Captain America star in the center and you'll be set. :goofy: Joking aside, you'r bike looks great. :fing02:
Despite being terribly partial to that blue (would love a whole bike or car in it) I think the white looks really good on the RWB. I see the requisite Albany Saranac was on hand for lubrication. :beer:
GOD - that bike looks good. I have always been fond of white when I buy cars, but the RED WHITE BLUE look Great on a VFR. Good luck with all the travel that the bags will make possible.

Peto is pushing a red 5th gen. I know because I stole his farkles while he slept.
I think honda should have offered white bags for the R/W/B. It really looks like it belongs that way.
Bravo.
Thanks Timmy - see corrected original post - Buki's White 06 was the inspiration. I am considering putting some flat black "HONDA" stickers on each bag though.
I like it but if it was my bike I'd get the tops of the bags painted blue and red to match the rest of the bike....that would tie everything together nicely.

Hey Timmy..... have you caught the general drift here yet ? ? ? ? ?
Sweet, man ! ! !
:+1: :+1:
Aparently not. From now on I will stick to oil composition threads and only speak in the Qeen's English and or scientific equasions. Or better yet, I'll just stop all together. I'm sure the bandit forum guys will want to have a laugh.
The bags look even better in person, and we had them installed(without indestructions) in about 45min... or did it take the pizza guy longer to get there?
We discussed several options of colors/mods/etc, my suggestion was to just add a RWB HRC sticker to each bag and call it a day, but it's not my bike, and looks good as is too! :cool:
Not shown in the pic is the birthday boy wearing his "Magic Hat #9"...

The white bags look really good, maybe better than the blue they recommend.
That red bike lift is a nice looking piece. What make/model is it?
John
John, the bike lift is from Harbor Freight when they had their coupon sale at $399.00 for it. Retail was $549.00. Careful of HF on special orders though. Check out the HF bike lift thread in Bargain Finder section on that count. I will decide how to detail bags after a bit when the inspiration hits on an idea I really like. BTW, I got the bags from VFRD member pshycocircus. A very big Thank You to him too.
