Default Painted Inner Fairing Option, Help!!

Hey, let me run this by you guy's, and let me know what you think. I'm about to take a job in for a friend. Chrome front end and color matched inner fairing. He has a '08 Pearl White Street Glide. I myself think that if he goes with a White inner fairing it will just be alittle over whelming. I'm suggesting to him that he installs a vivid black inner fairing, break up some of the white and do something alittle different. Whatda yea guys think??

Any pin stripe to match it too? I saw an Ultra in Pearl White with matching inner fairing and thought it was way to bright. Or how about paint it to match but get it custom striped to break it up?

Somebody just posted their white inner fairing on a white bike here the other day. Might find it if you scroll down about 7-8 pages or so.

I agree puttnutt it would seem to me, that it would be to Light, but I havent seen one that is painted like that. Might look for the one that was posted earlier. But to each his own.......... right. If he likes it

No, I have seen it, up close and personnel. A gal that owns a local tattoo shop has the same pearl white Street Glide with a white inner fairing and to me it just had "to much white". I apprecaite the feedback, it seems most of you would go with the white but I'm going to go with what my gut tell's me. I just took advantage of the 25% off sale at Chicago HD and ordered up the vivid black fairing. I'll post it here when I get it installed and then you guys can really let me know what you think....Putt
Have a most excellent New Years .......

Damn, that diffenitly looks nice Ozoneman. I'm going to let me buddy take a look at that and decide for himself. I'm not saying the black inner fairing won't look nice too but that does look good. Thx for digging that up for me......

Just so you know, you are looking at about 4 hours labor on removing the old inner fairing and installing the new one.
