Back to the SR I was astonished how tinkered the heat sink end looks at the official Zero photos on the Homepage. But now I had a close look at the Cycle World-Video and it is plain there is a missing cover
I would change my high resolution photos ;)

Black fasteners on black parts Zero, come on guys, it's not that hard.  I spent a good amount of time mocking my buddy for buying a Harley Nightster which had tons of bolts that looked straight off the Home Depot shelf, three-point Grade 5 markings and all.  Then I received my FX ... oops.  Not quite as bad but so cheap looking.  Total fastener makeover required as time allows to complete the black-out job.

Got a chance to swing a let over an SR at the IMS in NYC.  Here are some insights and photos:

1)  I like how I look on it.  ;-) 
Currently accepting sponsors.  :-D

2)  Mode switch is near the thumb! 

3)  CLOCK ON THE DISPLAY!!! 
Three modes - Sport, Eco, Custom
Sweet, blue color
Battery shaped indicator instead of gas pump
State of Charge %


4)  Seat heater (optional)  Nice!

I REALLY like the look of this bike, I can't afford one in 2014, but come 2015 I will be getting one.

That display design is a lot better than I initially expected. My only real criticism is in the size of the battery meter, particularly the bars, but that's easily offset by all the other useful information. I'm rather envious, honestly, of the new buyers (but have no reason to trade in - maybe the instrument cluster can be swapped out some day).
