The covers are glossy, and it's a quick makeover. The paint is not real deep on them, as in there is a ridge between colors, but I like it. There will be about 1" of tank showing in the very front near the forks, in case that matters to you. iF you look close you can still see a patch of green on my bike. It's not normally very noticeable. The kit comes with longer tank badge screws and spacers to accommodate the cover. That means it won't work on the glue on tanks.
Thanks for the compliment. Yeah it has gone a bit more tech than I planned but it's my swiss army knife bike. Hence the out of place bag rails etc. One day I will do a major fork redo and clean up the headlight area, probably with a D9 OEM gauge w/ ignition.
