Freshly Painted

Tucson, AZ

I had grown tired of seeing the boring gray, non-color-matched side cases on my 2017 BMW R1200RS and took them to a local painter for a makeover.
I wanted something that more closely matched the overall color scheme of the bike and am really happy with the result.

A "before" pic for comparison:

other sizes: small medium original auto

I would say it looks like an improvement, hopefully you will gain a few more mph as well :) !!

Great paint scheme. I see you took off the reflector as well.
