Lookin' good!

Have you considered a golden blazed green pin stripe on your wheels?

Might be hard to find that exact color, but may not need to be perfect. Dunno.

I voted for the "leave it black". I was wrong. That green looks amazing! :hail:
Yeah me too....I retract my vote... ;D

The green against that flat black looks dope! The green just pops out at ya...looks sweet dude!  :thumbs: :thumbs:

Looking real good!  Just wait until you get it out in the sun.  My 2009 Versys had not quite the same green(different paint code and a little more yellow or limier) and it was GREEN. You could see the green color reflecting on all sorts of things (like stop signs) while riding.  Green and black is a great combination.

Close? Whats left? It looks done. I don't see the left bag, but I was thinking you left it off for photogenic purposes  :)

Looks even better than I expected and I'm sure photos can barely even convey how nice it looks in person.  Hope to ride with you sometime, maybe we could meet in Montana sometime this year......... that will be right between us since I am moving to North Dakota.  I think my C14 is safe for now even if that means living in tent for the time being.  Glacier National Park maybe....................   ;)

Need to get some of those clear TechSpec pads to keep the tank all nice and green.
