Beware of the Insatiable Need to Color Match

 It used to be that when we stopped everyone drooled on the knarled out Adventure bike of Bruce's. Today, the tables have turned, as I have captured the attention of every 4 ft tall 5 year old. Bruce thinks they are mistaking my bike for Santa's Sled! 

However, I am not deterred by semantics.   Owning a Racing Red powder coated bike just oooozes with class.  I even went to far as to mount up a nice set of Racing Red crash bars by Krauser.  Why not bling some more, right?  However, since mounting those up I've put a kibosh on more red.  At some point (already?), it's just going to be downright gaudy.

Of all the luggage racks that I managed to mash up, the BMW Adventure racks are absolutely rugged.  The way they tie into the subframe makes them rock solid for luggage and a nice grab point.  They are also very well finished so no rusting out like the Jesse racks did.  However, no Racing Red there, just some silver.  However, they also match the silver powder coated hand guards.  The BMW hand guards aren't the Armageddon proof ones, but I wanted something more elegant for commuter.
