I bought a inner fairing, from a 08 SG ,off Ebay. Im going to get my buddy, that owns a bodyshop, to paint it to match my bike. My father made a comment to me about the bike being silver, the fairing being silver, and the chrome. He said I should probley leave the stock fairing to have some color contrast in the bike. Now Im torn. Maybe he is right. I dont know what to do.

 

It's your bike but he does have a valid point. In my opinoin I would agree with your father.

 

I vote for the piant job....

 

I have a birch white '04 EG and had my inner fairing shot vivid black with very fine sliver flake because I didn't want more white--but, I have since seen the '08 SE Ultra with the white innner fairing and it looks good; not better than what I did but vastly better than the stock black.

I'll bet your buddy can find a vivid black with nice silver flake that would provide a sharp look and contrast. Shoot, even the color-matched fairing will look sharper than the stock black IMO.

 

I remember you saying that before. It definitly will be differant and something no one has. Something to think about.

 

I agree black with siler flake

 

Do you have a picture of yours. The black with the silver flake

 

Why not two tone paint it ? .. silver & metallic black, would be one of a kind

The flake is so fine, it doesn't photograph well. I'll see if I can shoot and enlarge in daylight. If you walked up to the bike you would think it was just vivid black--you have to be very close to see the flake.

I may have mentioned previously that I also had the painter shoot the sides and rears of the SG mirrors; but not the base because the mirror pivots on the base.

Good luck with your project.

 

Hmmmm... hard to know without pics, sometimes the same color looks great sometimes a complimentary color looks great.
