Wrapping the white.

Very classy.  Debonair, yet sinister.

If you have interest in removing the reflectors from the bags and plugging the hole I have a simple and cheap solution.   Congrats on such a sharp machine!

Absolutely! I never could figure out anything I really liked on my orange '15 to take the place of the bag reflector.
Thanks,

I bought a pack of plugs from Amazon along with some Sugru (moldable glue), but any silicon should work just fine. Mine has held up to many miles and a few washes and rain showers over the last several months.

Perfect, I'll get the order made.
Thanks again,

That bike looks fantastic Dan, congrats!! I especially like it in combination with the Akra. Which actually makes me think about getting this Akra for my own bike...

Nice job!

My wifey has never been a fan of white motorcycles although I had no issue with it.
I took it to a local shop and had them wrap all the white with matte charcoal grey.
The guy did a great job and I gotta admit that I like it better.

Nice job, what did they charge you?

Also, Can you post a close up photo where the wrap is against the base colors, like the stripe down the center of the tank?

I had considered this on another bike, but examples I had seen did not look that good where there wasn't some kind of a bodyline to work to.

Oooh, that is sharp. I may steal that!

Total cost with tax was $225. It would have been less if I'd chose a color in stock because the minimum amount ordered was more than needed. I was trying to find a color to go with the carbon metallic grey Versys 650 saddlebag covers that I installed. I was hoping it would look like a close, two toned grey against the Versys decal which it's how it turned out thankfully.
Wrapping the bags would have to be piece wrapped which he doesn't like plus I was a little concerned about the way I kick the covers with this old back.
Also, I removed the pieces to make it easier for him plus he could do a better job.
The wrap had a matte finish which went well against the matte bodywork & covers.

They did a nice job and that price seems fair too.
Does not look like an Orca any more.
