The smoked/blackened look is only appealing to me when the lights are off, so basically we're talkin'
cool when parked since the lights
are on any time the engine is running.
Speaking of headlights...
Mine will be a winter project. Anyone notice that those 2 plastic "eyelash" thingys are clear, and you can see the reflector thru them? Makes me wonder if one could make those things light up somehow... perhaps with the signals?
I never could figure out what those eyelash thingys were for. Style? yeach! They don't throw any side light or anything. Lighting them up yellow sync'd with the turn signals would be nice.
I love my connie but it's not for the styling, those little winged things (foot guards I imagine) by the foot pegs look stupid too. I'm not too thrilled with the three screws on both sides at the front of the fairing either. Then again I'm usually outa step with most, seems that most here think that the only thing ugly on the bike is the muffler, which would be way down my list of things to change for styling improvement. If
it were all about style/fit and finish then I would have bought the Honda ST1300, I mean even it's built in tip over protection looks good.
It wasn't, and I didn't.
