Is there a source for the large pannier lids in red? I see them on the David Silvers website in black, silver and white but no red. I would rather not have to paint a white pair if I can help it.

David Silver Spares can get the red big lids -- they've had them in the past. Drop them an email.

Sweet! Thanks Phil!
I have had big lids on mine since 2010. I ordered mine from Europe, I'm sure David Silver will be better on shipping.
I have been noticing for the last 6 months or so that the red on the lids is slightly different from the other painted areas on the bike (slightly darker). It is very slight, probably because of different paint batches and sun fading.
Anyone else notice color differences?
Anyway they still look good, especially compared to the black non-painted areas like the fairing pockets and luggage rack area. Mine are rough.

David Silver has a warehouse in Hanover, Pa. I picked my lids at the warehouse since it is only 90 minute drive for me.
No one will notice the color at 70 mph...I had mine painted to match the color of my NT.
