Dare to be 'different'? The 2011 onward bikes had a black tailpiece. Personally I like it.

Would it be carbon wrapped? If so, you could always peel it off if you don't like it.

Had some quotes about £150-170 to match a candy red and may or may not be 100% perfect

Have the tail piece, fairing inners, tank sides and side panels carbon dipped so it matches front to back.

Im with the keep it Red crew, looks odd with just the back bit carbon....as if something up front like the fender would also need carbon to match.

Forget Carbon dip




I'd rather have Sheep dip before going Blue though.
