Thanks! I also love the contrast of the darker painted surfaces with the silver motor. I've been thinking that the 2013 style wheels with black spokes might look good with this combo so powder coating them is not out of the question.
I did not paint it myself... Mr. T. hooked me up with a 2016 EX special edition tank and a set of fenders color matched to the black accent. I also have a special edition matching Road Comet 1 fairing on the way. I'm also gonna do the lower Honda bars and some different mirrors to lower the profile a bit since I went with the sleeker RS seat.

I like the silver contrast and these were an inexpensive option.... although they do fit, the left side cover exposes a metal tab/stay on the frame rail where an electrical connector locks in. I don't have my 2014 Service Manual to verify, but I'm guessing it might be for the ABS system because the 2014 standard uses the same cover with no tab on the frame rail.
I may go back to the DLX side cover in black, titanium blade or silver.....
