I like all the restyle pictures... the mix of orange and red looks good. I like the one shown here best. A change in the paint I had considered might add to the one below.
The lateral trim panel has a seam just under the edge. I thought painting my bike orange around the sculpted area where the BMW badge is at and orange again on the trim panel at the seam and under. I thought the orange color would show best when the bike was being leaned over on a turn.
IMHO Maybe a strip on the under edge of the trim panel could work.

Hi Don C.,
Thanks for adding the color to the trim panel. It is exactly the touch I had considered. Looks good.

I've changed the stripe on the fairing to match the style of the other stripes. Its not perfect yet, but I think it is an improvement. Maybe I'll work on the cut angles next week.
