Personally, I like the blacked out edge. I've always thought that an edge on a tank looks "unfinished", or maybe like "standard equipment", whereas a finished edge, be it rounded off as in the case of the 1500's, or even a simple blackout paint job on the edge looks more "clean", or even "custom".
In the end though, it's your ride.
It may help you to decide if you take a large pic of your whole bike, then save it and make a second copy and spend some time in Microsoft Paint, or some similar program, and look at the change as a whole, instead of just looking at a portion of the bike. It's hard to gauge the overall effect that way.
There's one of my armpits!

Personally I like the black edge, It lends to the transition to other blacked out areas on the bike and softens the edge of the bottom of the tank. There's a similar black edging on the air cover as well if I'm not mistaken which in a subtle way would mirror it... However if I've learned anything here on the site it's... If you like it that's all that matters brother.

- November 22, 2012, 18:38:02 PMlooking for some honest opinions, I am wonder if I should finsih off the tank , I am not sure if I like the finished look with a black edging or to just leave it.....not a big deal not expensive nor hard to do, even I with my limited skills set can do it alone....but what do you think
