YES to painting, solid color would really make a clean look for the bike. Not really a headlight person, but if I had to choose I’d say bright white or maybe a slight blue.
I had a group of bikers driving behind me last year and one had super bright HID’s that looked like they were literally strobing because if the bike wasn’t perfectly flat or hit even the slightest bump or dip the angle of light would go out of whack. It was soo bad, bright and distracting I had to pull over to let 'em pass. He def ghetto rigged them and if anything made his bike more unsafe.
Usually painted plastics on a bike mean its been dropped. BUT something like the lower panel and race cowl wouldnt raise a flag IMO. The cowl already looks painted. maybe buy an aftermarket or used lower piece and paint that, leaving the stock one alone. I would leave the one near the wheel alone, i think it would attract your eye to look at something that doesnt necessarily need any attention as it sort of blends in now. …
thank you this helps alot! im def gonna go with 35w 6k lights! paint is still up in the air with me… the rear cowl is painted and its painted like garbage. i need to repaint either black or body color. so im gonna look into costs and appearance of going body color on the lower plastics. if n e one is photoshop savy it would be nice to see =)
