I have been busy sourcing and buying lots of bits for my new toy and am undecided on which combination of parts is going to look right. I appreciate its all down to personal preference, however I would like people opinions/input. Unfortunately I don't have the photos of the parts, as I haven't even seen them myself yet! Another 7 days until I am home to see the parts in the flesh. So heres the list, and the bike is a 2013 Repsol. Pro Fiber Carbon Fibre Frame covers Pro Fiber Carbon Fibre Swing arm covers Honda Racing Carbon fibre rear hugger Honda Repsol rear hugger Honda Repsol sear cowl (repsol orange) Honda Repsol SP seat cowl (tri colours) Integrated rear light with built in indicators (smoked) Fender eliminator blanking plate Bracket to relocate number plate to beneath battery box Parts I am considering: Pro Fiber chain guard Pro Fiber heel plates Powerbronze seat in repsol colours (a bit much on the eyes I think) TIA
I quite like the SP cowl (repainted in repsol colours of course) but not really a fan of the rest. I personally would avoid anything to do with frame or swingarm covers. Everything else is personal preference but instead of sinking a load of money into covers and the like I would look at suspension and wheel mods.
Thanks for your input Black. TBH the bikes performance and handling is way beyond my capabilities and as much as I love to ride, I doubt I will ever use it to its full potential. I prefer the look of a darker frame, hence the covers and I think I my description of the SP cowl in Tri colours, is a little misleading. It is actually in the repsol colours orange/red/white as found on the new 15 blade, hence I used the word tri, i think the term tri colours is used just for the red/white/blue combo? Is that right?
Tri normally for hrc your right... stick it all on and see what you think... for me though, sometimes less is more, a subtly modded bike that isn't trying t o show off things that matter like suspension, wheels etc is best for me.... i like it when you have to look close to see the work gone into a bike but we are all different which keeps it interesting....
