It might make the bike more noticeable(good and bad) and also unique.

I like it...what other color would you choose? Green? Now that would look wrong. Black would be okay also, but the counter color red looks good.

Keep them red!
Red & green looks good.
This is a stock V11 & that looks pretty good imo.

They look alright to me adds some contrast. Black or Chrome would be good choices also.

I think it looks good. One caution: depending on how brittle the paint you used it could crack and chip as the spring flexes. But as for looks ....looks good to me! Whole bike looks good!

Normally I would think that going with the "Eddie Lawson" look would require gold shocks. But with the other gold already there I would and do like the red shocks!

Hi and thanks for the response ,it looks as though the red is an acceptable color from the comments .The paint is flexable and will hopefully last.
