1st choice, Black for a more OE look.
BUT…..
Make this thing in RED and we all know it will easily ADD 15+ HP!!!!!!!!

So everyone knows- this was my wife’s idea to make this part. After seeing used genuine ones selling on eBay for $40-$50. Also if you want New you have to buy the entire air box assembly and you still end up with fabric wrapped wire tube with a foam gasket.

I think you'll need to make a gearbox skid plate first before going on the tank. To complete the product lineup.

Black is great, but if it was my hard blood, sweat & tears that went into it, I’d want my product to stand out so people knew it was my product in use vs a stock part.

Grey looks fine & you could slap a name on it and be noticed vs an OEM look. Or go black & slap a bright red/white/blue logo on that sucker!
