Rear seat cowl for 2014 ninja

Cary26 · November 13th, 2013, 09:00 AM

I just bought a 2014 Ninja 300 SE Abs. The difficulty I am having is deciding the rear seat cowl color. The bike has a white and black cowl, with some red mixed inane the tank is black. I am torn over white or black.

Does it look like this?

If it looks like the bike above, I'd go with white. That bike would look so much better with a white gas tank.

I would oddly go with black, might make the tank look at home instead of out of place. Idk who figured the black tanks would look good on colored bikes, it's kinda confusing. Other than that I like the new schemes.

I can understand why they went with a black tank. The lines from the black plastic line up with the tank. However, the white tank from 2013 does, IMO, look better. I was thinking maybe going with the black cowl as well....

Either Cowl will look fine . Just make sure you get a graphic for it with some red/gray.

That is what the bike looks like, and I am really torn over black or white. Thanks for replies, keep mum coming. If I could find one with graphics of fairing that might look good. Cary

Normally I would say seat cowl should always match tail
But I agree with you in this case black might help
as the black tank seems so out of place on this & the 2014 burnt orange
colored bike too

I'm with you, either paint the tank or put a black cowl, I'd probly paint the tank myself, but that wasn't the question

Black cowl to help the tank flow better.
