Has anybody else noticed that the curve on the knee pad doesn't match up with the curve on the white painted panel on the tank?
It seems to me that the curve at the back end of the white-painted panel, should be a complementary curve shape, that fits visually with the curve molded into the front of the knee pad.
To me, those curves don't match up visually, and look awkward together.
Just a slight variation of how they paint those panels, so they'd have a shape which complements the shape of the knee pad, would be a relatively simple operation, and would greatly enhance the bike in my eyes.
I think it would be as simple as painting the top left corner of that white panel a little further back toward the kneepad, so the curves would be complementary with each other.
The red area is wider at the top, between the kneepad and the white panel, than it is at the bottom. I see no reason for that. It looks like a mistake.
The tank, emblem area, and kneepads are a visual focal-point of the bke.
They should look perfect, because that's where the eye goes first when somebody looks at the bike.
If the first thing they see are awkward curves that don't go together, that's a bad sign.
It gives the impression that either the kneepads aren't put on right, or the white panel wasn't painted right, because they just don't go together.
I think this needs to be corrected.
It might sound like nit-picking, but the tank graphics are critical in the first impression of the motorcycle. That's a big deal.
