As I'm standing there the idea struck me, what would the Vivid Black bike look like with a Brilliant Silver inner fairing ? I'm thinking it would either look really good or it would look like Johnny Cash's "I got it one piece at a time".


I'll have to find some one who knows that photoshop trick to do me a rendition I can study.
Or....... Buy the Brilliant Silver Ultra & you can buy my Vivid Black inner off my TK... Price will be right!

Contrast is good. Here's what I did with the inner on my '07 SG when I rebuilt after hitting a deer.

That's how I did my 07. Vivid black with silver inner and stripes.

I'm in the air about it. A part of me says it might look pretty good. You could paint it silver then paint the bezel around the gauges black. That way it wouldn't be just a huge alive part on a black bike.

Install the 2014 CVO dash trim with matching CVO tank trim. Both pieces are turned aluminum, giving you some silver and looking right. I posted this from my phone, that is why no photos.

You really will love the look.

Six weeks waiting for delivery has me overthinking things.


5 hours of Vodka tonics last night have brought me to my senses.


I ordered the CVO dash trim, am debating on the tank panel.
