Can't decide which dash/clamp. Opinions?
« on: August 31, 2015, 09:05:33 PM »
Found an extra dash panel in my box of parts, was bored and polished it and put a new faceplate on. Looks so good now, I can't decide which one to use black or polished?

I like the polished, have one on my K4, but the black looks better with the black bars.

Yeah I agree that black goes better with the rest of the bike I guess. Time to build another around the clamp? Haha

Seeing as how your bike is pretty stock, I see the sticker by the gas cap, better go with the stock black one.

I like the polished one though and gives me an idea for my 550k custom I'l be doing.

I used polished one on my K3F build - but the MC and the top tree are polished also.

Is the Honda plate from Yamiya? I also prefer the polished clamp but I don't have a plate on mine.
