I never thought about this before but Honda should have made it this way in the first place. Excellent idea, well implemented 👍

That grey cowling on the NC is made from the most dirt/bug/grime attractant ever. It gets dirty after 35 seconds of use and is virtually impossible to keep clean! Well done for hiding it!

I'm not an expert, but according to my abacus calculations you should have done this and that to compensate for fluid dynamics, Newton's laws of motion and other physics problems which I'm certified as professionally unaware of. In comparison to the grill I never made, and through a layman's viewpoint it looks better than nice, so at the least you have that going for you!
