What about painting the rad covers to match the engine bronze magnesium like paint color?$509 for a decorative bit that you have to wait 6-8 weeks for. Add to that I don't think it would look all that good to have carbon rad covers then plastic wings. Then add the cost for carbon wings. Yikes.
Less than $20 for 3M black vinyl.

Just a thought
These bikes look great at any angleI considered painting them but when I do cosmetic mods I prefer to be able to return the bike to stock. I thought it would look better with a red front fender. Instead of painting the existing one, I just bought one from a V4 off of eBay. Likely cheaper that way too.
Removing the engine heat covers looks much better too.
I need to get a pic from the other side. I think the bike looks better on the non-swingarm side.
I just did mine this week. The sub frame comers need to be removed and to get to the last bolt on each side the rear of the tank needs to be lifted. It’s not terrible to do but it is a bit of woekPicked my 21 SFS up a couple weeks ago. One of the best bikes I’ve ever ridden.
That matte wrap looks good on the rad covers.
What’s the best way to remove those Plastic engine heat shields? Does the tank need to be removed?

You will need to drill the holesI didn't even know I wanted that until I saw your post.
Is the Rizoma bar drilled or do you have to do that when installing it?
Yes it was pretty easy to install. I had to redo one but still have plenty leftover. I went with the New Rage Cycle tail tidy. The lights are bright and I like how it cleans up the back.@meyer71
Glad the blacked out shrouds worked out for you. Did you find the matte black 3M vinyl easy to install? I like that single seat tail. What fender eliminator did you go with?
For those interested, this is the product I used and suggested to meyer71.

This kit is enough to do all four with some extra. Basically, place the part over the wrap and trim it so you have about 1.25-1.5" overhang on all sides. You really only need heat, very slight heat at that, at the countersunk screw holes which is where I would suggest starting the stretch. I don't suggest using heat near the edges as its easy to get tears. If you have any wrinkles, lift up and slightly stretch and lay back down.
Thank you very much. Mine should be here Friday. I really like the rear bend in the top pic, height will be perfect.@meyer71
I have a pic comparison to show the Rizoma bar(MA009b) from stock .
Bottom bar is the Rizoma
