What's Wrong With This Picture?

That would be true if there were a bunch of exposed welds on the bike but that one is the only one you see and it just jumps out at you the first thing when you look at the 6, it had to go, one ugly thing covered up was worth anything to me to hide it. I had already opted for the chrome pipes and knew I would be adding more chrome so that just played right into purchase of the chrome frame cover. It cleaned up the side of the bike and helps offset the black and matte silver just enough to make it stand out rather than being an ugly eye sore.

I'm being lazy as I haven't checked, but seadog, were there any black covers available? I'm not into the chrome look, so that chrome piece would stick out like a sore thumb....to me, worse than the weld.

The 2013's came with the frame covers and the 2015's don't. Just another way for Honda to save some money. I took mine off and put smoked covers on and sold my factory covers to a member on this site.

I have a '13 and am not sure of where you all are talking about on the welds. Can you help me understand the issue better?
Thanks!

Been looking for the dark covers, see what they cost and look like...any leads?

I guess that is why I can't see them. Its early here and I didn't read it well. Thanks.

I just happened to notice something whilst looking at photos of various members' rides.

I purchased my '15 B Dlx just three weeks back.....

Now...what I have noticed is the weld seam on the frame directly above the drivers' left footpeg in this pic. On other pictures, there is some sort of cover trim piece over that seam. The welds on both the left and right sides of my bike are bare and open.

Did mine somehow get missed....or did they stop doing this on later models?

It's only sticky tape that holds that dressing on. You're not missing much. All the 2014's and up that I've seen do not have the weld covered. As for why Honda stopped covering the welds, only Honda can answer that.

Only the 2013 models got them, and since were mear 5- ounces, I would say for cost savings, they were removed.

Wow...thanks for that. It's only a specific strip to cover the weld. I bet that saved them all of $2,000.00 total....thank you Honda.
