After a month of bad weather and trying to get everything rounded up, I finally got my inner painted and put back together. My painter went with PPG paint as recommended at the dealer. Matches real good, and am very happy with the gauges. A job that was a little challenging, but with great rewards. Now I just have to wait for some good weather in Indiana. I also have an IDS (thanks to Santa) to install. After the fairing that should be a piece of cake. To all on the Forum, a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Hope the pictures come through, my first time at trying this.

Looks wicked, congrats and of course merry christmas!

 

Is that black cherry? Looks great! Much better than the plastic look.

 

Very nice, nice paint job and color. I just finished mine. Only trouble I had was figuring out the routing of the clutch cable, I forgot how it was routed and it was hitting the rubber ring cushionthats stops the steering from turning. I didn't remove the gas tank, though.

 

Looks great and nice choice on color. Do you have the black cherry paint code at all?

 

Jsans, I had to take the tank off because I had some light scratches that were buffed out. Also had the back of the mirrors painted, and the mid-frame air deflectors.

 

07lbackcherry, code for PPG is 905951

 

Congrats on the paint and gauges. When I did mine with a gauge swap I felt like I had a new bike when riding since it was soooo different from the stock black gauges and plastic finish inner fairing.

 

Good idea having the back of the mirrors painted to match. I did away with the fairing mirrors and installed handlebar mirrors, but I didn't have a painter since I bought my inner fairing pre-painted from the facory.

 

looks awesome - can't wait to do the same on mine (ordered the gauges today)
