Here is a pic of my fairing and front fender with the striping. I changed the white and red to white and blue as I thought it worked well with the BMW logo on the tank. Just my opinion but I think the stripe on the fairing flows nicely with the tank and gives it that finished appearance.
I LOVE that bottom mount! Are they stock with the fairing?
I tend to agree Rob - that is one nice piece of engineering. Very classy indeed. (And from what I can see the top seems to be about the same)
