Yes you will....
I have a 2010 red NT. And the top box I bought is lighter red in color.Has anyone else with the red NT noticed the color seems to be darkening with time?
I purchased my NT in July 2010 and just this weekend installed a Honda topbox. The color of the new topbox is much brighter red than the bike. I then compared to some photos I took the day I bought the bike, and the color of the bike seems to have changed over time to a much darker, almost maroon color.
It doesn't seem to be uneven, like sun had caused it, as the areas covered by the front edge of the seat are the same color. It is almost like a general darkening of hue over time.
Does anyone else feel their red bike color has changed?
Is it possible that the top box you have was actually for another Honda that might be a slightly different color red ? I am not sure that our top box is exclusive to the NT since it came with hardware that was not needed for the NT mounting. Just a thought.I have a 2010 red NT. And the top box I bought is lighter red in color.
See if I can attach a picture.
Should write a complain letter to Honda .... I did ... all I got was a phone call though.
Don't think the bike changed color .... the top box is a light red ... I think.
Honda said to me the color can be lighter or darker then the bike.
Maybe I can get it repainted by someone.
For now I keep my bike dirty ..... the dirt on the box and bike is a good match.
The red NT are faster then the silver ones for sure.
If the baby oil doesn't work I have used Mothers Back To Black with very good results on other bikes, and cars, where the color was fading / lightening due to sunlight...Talking about fading, does anyone know how to stop the black plastic from fading. I live in Fl and I have tried a lot of different products and none seem to work. Jim
Try 303 Protectant. It will restore the orginal black finish and keep the UV rays from further degarding the plastic.Talking about fading, does anyone know how to stop the black plastic from fading. I live in Fl and I have tried a lot of different products and none seem to work.
