Painted Inner Fairing?

Has anyone painted the inner fairing to match the Black Cherry? Is there too much glare from high gloss finish on fairing? Thanks

Mines vivid black, not black cherry. Glare is not a concern. AWESOME mod makes a huge difference in the look of the bike.

Mine is painted Vivid Black to match bike. Made a Huge improvement over stock. My only complaints are, now you have to keep figerprints etc. off of inner faring. Looks Great after a wash. Glare is not a problem. I saw a new 08 SG that was Sunglo Crimson Red paint w/ inner faring painted to match & it looked awesome.

Took mine apart this fall and had it painted (Black Cherry)with new gauges. No problem with glare, just not enough time to ride all I want. You'll love it.

Hey Quad.. those guages just don't look right on that fairing.. Black Cherry should have Black guages...

Tell you what.. being the nice guy that I am.. I'll send you my black ones.. you send me those much too bright ones of yours!

One of the best non performance mods you can do to your bike, IMHO..

Here is a pic of my Candy Red Sunglo inner fairing...

Me too! I was very impressed. I'm not a red fan but that color is awesome. Painting the inner fairing makes a huge difference. Plan on doing that to mine. Question? Better to buy it painted from Harley or have it painted by an outside source that does great work? Interested in hearing responses.
