i was working on my post re: rams cycle installing my new black/charcoal houndstooth carbon fiber fender on the hayabusa, when i looked at the 'before' shot with the brushed aluminum fender...wow: not sure the darker one is the answer, design-wise. it kind of makes the front end of the hayabusa dissappear into oblivion. may have to get it painted to match the lighter colors. the carbon fiber is a performance upgrade, but i think the solid, consistant color gives the bike a more solid, armor-like look.
