    Sidecover Opinions

    I am in the process of making new sidecovers for the bike...the first ones I made I used last year were from just flat aluminum with the GS750 emblem on them..but since my motor has diamond plate covers I made on it I decided to make diamond plate ones for the bike itself...just cant decide on flat black or gloss with the highlighted diamonds...opinions?

    Whats on the motor? Chrome, gloss black, or the flat black?

          With the rest of the bodywork being gloss black, I would go with gloss black on the side covers.

          Are you engine covers gloss black or flat? It doesn't matter as much if the engine covers are different, but I would keep the body pieces all in the same theme. The polished diamonds would be their highlight.
