Tastefull touch or tacky ?

Having a issue deciding on plain stainless or the aluminum fancy hole washers.

To me the big one is just too big regardless of the holes in its border. The small one doesn’t look centered in the pic and also looks a bit large. If perfectly centered it might look ok. The big one might look good with a black screw in the middle.

Isn't that originally a rubber grommet / plug location , with no real need for a washer , but an aluminum bolt only ? The aluminum washer looks big bro , maybe a smaller diameter .

Not so cool.

It's a American expansion well plug that is a touch smaller than metric oem. Allows windshield swap without pulling inner plastics apart. Your correct CBX not quite centered as washer ID is off a little. They start centered but few hundred miles of riding vibration always makes the move back.
I'll find another use for them.
Thank you.

From a different perspective not so close up

Brian, I would go with the smaller one if it was center. Have you noticed how Kawasaki used a plastic “washer to protect paint on a lot their bolts on the C14? I like the idea and was thinking about ordering some to use on the busa bolts.

That view is better but wouldn’t the contrast of a black screw head inside the washer look better? See how good the silver tops look inside your black mirror blocks? Also, painting the down side of a washer helps to keep it in place over time.

It's a Busa. Go big or go home Although I like the black bolt idea. Just my 2 cents worth

I have black expansion rubber plugs and have a black button head screw I put in the location ( I have had to remove my windscreen frequently over the past few weeks to put fluid in to bleed my brakes/clutch and adjust etc)

Are you set in stone with the silver/silver setup because imo it may look good to tone it down with black / black.

 

[jeffgordons24]

This is what I have and I can remove the windscreen without removal of the dash fairings.

What color are the plastic washers they use? I ordered kit and they arrived to me in white...I was like wtf am I going to do with white. Maybe if I had a white bike.

Some clear and some black.

I like the pope washers (holy). Reminds me of the fasteners on my old superblackbird.
And really as long as they are not spikes it is not tacky

lol... spikes.. the best is the spikes on the bar ends.... lol

 

[Getn off]

Damn. I am shocked that you would even consider putting something on ur bike that isnt lighter than oem!
For the record, I prefer the smaller ones. Never was a fan of the gawdy spikes or diamond cut everything on Busas...which is so common.
