While I have my fairing off getting repaired I was thinking of painting the inner fairing. Should I paint it to match the outside of the fairing or go with black.. I like the look of the black, never seen a roadglide painted inner to match the outter don't want it too looklike someone pimped my ride! LOL
I painted mine last winter, along with the light surround on the beer box. I started with a colour match, but it just wasn't dead on after two tries, so I went black. It looks great, and I'm not changing it now.
hmmm, if your bike was the darker blue, I would think it would look good. I would go for gloss black. That would look awesome.
Being that your bike looks as awesome as it does I truly respect your opinion and I think I am leaning toward the black I think the blue may be a little much.

That was what I am most scaired of, the color not matching, I think I will stay on the somewhat conservative side and stay black. Now how the hell do I get the fork/ignition lock off!! That is the last thing I have to pull off to free the fork cover.
If your is anything like the dressers, you rotate the lock to the steering lock position and insert your key. Using a small screwdriver, there is a spring loaded pin on the bottom of the lock mechanism, push it in, rotate the key, and pull up.
Of course, this is all nill if they made it different at the MOCO!
