Looking good! I used the little chrome bezel ring on the indicator lights on mine. Hides the black ring. They have that bigger chrome that goes around the radio and indicator, but I think it hides to much paint.

All the paint match inners look nice. I think that Harley should paint match all the inners out of the factory. Charging enough for it, but I then think of all the money that they would miss out on. Just wouldn't make sense for them to do it I guess.

I agree with the small bezel Rdgray, it would look good and I have one on order now. I did have the large one that incorporates the radio and indicator-neutral etc but as you say, that is just too much chrome.

Funny enough wheelzk that is exactly what the service manager said when I picked up the bike. Me and another customer that got fleeced at the same time laughed about the remark.
He agreed that, as it brings in extra mony for HD, they would never get the fairings painted as standard.

The color of the inner fairing is really nice and I bet it looks better in person and in the sun.
