Gents -
The styling of the rizoma belt covers I had always bothered me a bit. Thought the bike was getting a bit to show-y (yup, just made that up); a bit to Beverly Hills. After getting some Alpina's I went with a red anodized theme and I think the circular portion of the belt covers just went a bit too far. To my eye the vented circles of the covers themselves never really tied in with the rest of the bike. I felt that the shapes actually distracted someone from the raw effect of the engine within the frame (which was a nice draw to the SC in the 1st place).
You all know that feeling when you look at your bike and something is just off.... So I decided something HAS to change, and that the covers were coming off. We were going back to NO covers. But, I got to the garage, started tinkering and realized I could remove just the red portion from the rest of the cover! So I did. I gave it about a month of riding to see how I felt and I gotta say - I am very happy with the result. Now I just need to grind off the tabs and powder coat? Hmmm....
Curious to see what you think....
