I think it looks good. I'll have to agree with the wife, the silver is good if for nothing more than reflective purposes

I agree,

I think it looks good, and it has the colors to go with your bike. The silver compliments the aluminum swing arm and everything ties together nicely. Now the Kaw Green helmet has to go...

Before all the yaehoos jump on this...

I DO NOT have a straight eye for anything.

Re: Need opinion
I personally like the silver accents, but my last couple suits have had quite a bit of silver on them.
My only opinion on leather suit color is that dark leathers suck. I've used both dark and light suits in the past but will never go back to a dark one. The heat difference is amazingly large.
I don't see any Kawasaki green helmet so I can't offer any opinion on that.
I think you'll grow to like the silver. Just don't road test this suit.

I like the silver accents. Not only are they reflective, but they tie everything in. Would look weird without it I think.

I think the suit works great with the bike. There is quite a bit of silver on my new Aegis and at first I was a bit concerned, but the more I see it the more I like it. A dark suit needs a bit of flash here and there, just to follow the modern trend. Besides, you don't see it while you're wearing it. The important thing is how it fits and protects.

I like the suit. The reflective pieces are a nice addition especially for night riding. One can never be too visible at night.
