I endorse the all black/red frame look.
It just looks like you're missing something.
I like the cans you've got on there.

So few weeks back I changed out the battery on my 696. I was super busy and never got a chance to put the tank plastics back on. Few weeks later, the tank covers still sit in my closet. The more I look at the bike, the more I like the un-covered tank look. Now I'm thinking about picking up a black or CF front fender to make the red frame even pop some more. Is it a big risk to not have the mesh screen over the tank intake?   get yourself a set of CF side panels. or at least black if the red is too much for you. BUT no, don't think it's a good idea to run like you are, or a good look. But it's your bike. and we all have opinions about our own bikes. |

Ditch the airbox and run open filters- looks more open and you will be able to see through the "vents" and also through the trellis below and won't look like someone stole your tank covers...

+1 I think that might just work. Would like to see how that looks too. |

How it looks while keeping covers off or how it looks with the covers on...? |

I've seen the new Monsters with pod filters and covers on. I'd like to see what it would like with pod filters and covers off.

 I'll snap a better pic when I go to re-install my ECU on my bike... |

to the OP, i can see how that would grow on you. it would probably grow on me too, but it would probably look better with a different skin rather than nothing at all.

Ya, I like the black on red look too but that tank needs to be covered with something.
