Batwing pics, please

Can someone post some large pics of the inside, outside, and sides of your stock HD batwing.

I have an aftermarket fairing coming for my RKC and while the outside will be painted a hi-gloss black to match my vivid black RK, I am trying to figure out what the best treatment for the inner may be...flat black, satin black, or go hi-gloss as well? Just concerned if I go hi-gloss on the inner, that reflections may be distracting.

Thanks!

IMO, Black Pearl may also be a great color for your inner if you were not doing gloss black. It would be a great contrast. Flat black would likely seem more like the stock finish, maybe flater and would show were shine where it's frequently touched.

I did the same black pearl, and have had no problems with glare.

Glare is not too bad..Check out the carbon fiber cap cover..IMO its well worth it. Best mod ever.

Mine isn't a stock Harley piece,it's an aftermarket fairing like you have ordered, I painted it the same color as the bike and I don't find any distractions from reflections.
