Default Whadya think guys?

I powder coated these calipers red and am now on the fence as to what they would look like installed on my 2014 Limited (Vivid Black). I know I will hear " It's your bike do what you want!". Just looking for feedback is all, nothing more.

If your bike was red maybe, otherwise I'd say no. JMO

They will look just fine on a Black bike.
Red and Black have always looked good together.

I wouldn't go out and buy Red (or any other color) calipers, but that is just because something like that is low on my priority list.
But if I already had them like you do, there would be no problem using them on a Black bike.

Red/black is a great combo. Makes your bike stand out.

I think they will suck on a black bike. You should give 'em to a member on the forums with a red bike who dared to tell you the ugly truth!

I like them I think they look good an a black bike, see if there is something else to powder coat red to go along with the train of thought.

I'm a Porsche nut and you can clearly see the red Brembos behind the aluminum wheels regardless of the color of the cars. I like it.
