my newly painted inner is on
After being down for several weeks I finally got my inner back from paint and got her all put back together. Just put the last bolt in the outer fairing tonight. Big but really fun job and the service manual went step by step all the way through. Although the directions for mating the inner to the fairing brackets didn't make any sense to me and didn't seem to work at all - so I did it my way and everything went together just fine. The bike is Sunglo Blue, the inner is 2007 Ford Mustang gloss black and I'm a real happy guy...

they did a good job and it looks nice. If I may ask what was the reason for the different inner fairing color?

RE: my newly painted inner is on
I was going to ask the same thing... why not go with the same blue as the bike. I understand what ya mean, about to much blue. Heck, if it were my bike, I would have the whole thing painted black, LOL...j/k, sorta. I mean, I like that ya went away with the normal, and got a color of bike that is different, but I am just not a fan of blue... the fairing does look really sharp, though. And putting it back together, yourself, is great. I don't know if you are anything like me, but when I did my first accessory to my bike, I was nervous as hell. I didn't want to mess up this expensive bike... but, all went well, and now I am moving in to more and more improvements...
Good job... |

Well my chopper is all black and I bought it as a stock black FXST in 91 and still ride it all the time. So for the bagger I wanted something different. I've done all kinds of stuff to this one too, and vividly remember the first major thing and sitting there with a drill thinking "am I really going to start drilling on my brand new $27K bagger??" And my next thought was " of course!" : )

gotcha, I suppose to each their own! Anything beats the stock inner fairing! Do you have any other plans to add some matching black accents to the bike? I like that you are trying to be different then everybody else! I do give you a lot of credit. Harley riders are good for being indiviuals......................until another one of us catches on and then next thing you know the MOCO will be producing their screamin eagle's with a different color fairing!

Looks great Ron. Must feel good to have the bagger back. Looking forward to getting together for a ride this summer.

I am glad you like it. I think it looks like stock.
