In the picture it makes your radiator look a silverish color. If your radiator was a dark black I think it would look cool.

But it's your bike, your opinion is the only one that matters!

(BTW, beautiful bike, I've always loved the whites. And are those motad headers? They look pretty good, too).

Doesn't do much for me but then I don't care for the red decals on the tank either. I think it would look better with black radiators though.
#4
black radiators for me too.
#5
Black rads are the way to go.

White looks good but the Red Honda wing could go.
Good luck

I'm not sold on the red grills... but the red decal (s?) look good , I think.
#8
I think the red grill looks great......

I think that white and black looks great.
It is the color I wish I had.
If you through red in the mix, it's just a bit too much IMHO.
This is one of those times when less is more.

But as the others have said, if you like it, it is the way to go. :fing02:

umm ...who cares what i think ..or anyone else for that matter!
its YOUR BIKE!
if you like it, do it..
#11
Yeah, it's your bike - do what you like. But if you want my opinion, black grills and keep the red decal.
#12
Yea man,
Looks cool!
Do it.
It is your bike, after all.

I really like both the red decals and the red radiator... It would look too much like a ST1300P if all that were in black... Red is nice--not overpowering...

The red grills are OK, I'd say maybe.
I think it could use a little more red. Something a little less subtle.
Probably not the wheels. Probably not a Starsky and Hutch style stripe.
But that's all I got. :unsure:
#15
It needs a bit more red paint somewhere - like the lower fairings or something. Helps to break up the slab-sided nature of the beast.
#16
Love the Red Grills. But it's still a little too sparse. Try adding a red HONDA across the bottom. Just to balance out those big white sides.
#17
Where do you get red grilles? Or are you just planning on maybe painting them?
#18
Even though it sounds like half the guys don't even notice the grill, they look pretty cool! :fing02:

I didn't say red grills, but when talking about making the radiator black I meant to accent the red grills. I like it.

Of course when you ask someone what they like, it can can easily be what they have.

I'm more of a blacked out kind of guy with my red 5th gen. I think the white bike looks great. With the red decals the red grills look fine. You can always paint it back to the original if you decide you hate it.
#22
:fing02: on the red grills very nice
#23
Looks good! Add red wheel stripes and it will look even better (at least to me)!
