Me too, it makes the lowers look like part of the engine package. I Like the look of the separation between the black and the white.

My RGS is velocity red. I decided I wanted to add lowers and have been going through the color match or black look. Since I have blacked my bike out, I am thinking the black lowers would look great and give a separation of the whole scheme.

In my not so humble opinion.....
the black lowers look best on a blacked out bike.

I think the color matched lowers make the bikes look fat and lazy lol.

I think the black lowers look great. They ‘disappear’ into the bike, giving it a slimmer look than colour matched. Looks sharp.

Default River was up a lot!

They seem to just disappear. Surprisingly, the HD dealer likes it with the cheap fairings when the did my 1K today

I think it looks good and they do just disappear. What brand did you go with? I'm going to order some lowers for my velocity red RG here soon. I've pretty well blacked out the whole bike already.

I bought the 2013 and older vented version from FFCycle.com. They are Fairing Factory. They were $179 plus $26 shipping.
