Cigar Critic, you're a true friend...

I hate to even do this, but... What do people think about a painted inner fairing in pewter pearl color? I like the black contrast right now and the way it looks with black gauges. But, I could be persuaded... I haven't yet swapped the air temp gauge for an oil temp gauge either...
I think it would look much better with the matching Pewter Pearl. It's going to get very ugly for me too as I'm about to start a project for a guy that airbrushes bike tins.
If you like the black contrast you could at least have the inner PAINTED a GLOSS black instead of that unfinished plastic black that they come in. Just a thought.

Wait until you see my inner fairing when I get done with it and the lower fairing top caps[8D]

Have you done any motor work yet??

New cables activate the clutch...
It needs to be beefed up...
If that is beefed up you will need to upgrade the engine so that it is justified...
You may as well go on and do a 120 like all these other guys who added new bars
Hey, that's a great idea. Do a clutch upgrade first, then build the motor to match. Somehow that line or reasoning is hitting a little close to home!!
