I like how on the CVO Ultra the fairing insert / console color matches the bike instead of just flat black.

Has anyone ever tried to remove it and paint it themselves?

Is there a kit to replace the fairing insert with a painted one?

 

Look in the paint section of your HD accessories catalog.
It's called inner fairing

Do you mean like this one?

 

You can buy it painted from Harley for about $600, or Take it off and have it painted, but the bike is down while you do this. I bought a Takeoff from a local guy (plenty of them on ebay) and had it painted for about $100. Guys on here have been paying between $100 -$125 to have it done. Took a few hours to do the swap out myself, did a few other things at the same time. Looks great and worth doing.

 

Yeah I kinda like that whole matching color scheme as well.

 

Just did mine last week, not a bad job. Manual is really good on this. I bought a used inner faring and switch cap for around $100 and it cost me $150 to get it painted.
