Default Painted inner fairing on RG

OK, I'm taking apart my Roady, installing CB, +2 KW sweepers, new left hand switch for CB, and while I'm this far into the fairing I thought I may have the inner fairing painted.

Mine is a 2010 Scarlet Red, I'm wondering if this will be too much red or if the radio speakers grills, gauges will brake it up enough...

Anyone have any pictures of their RG, Scarlett Red would be nice, inner fairing that was painted?

Thanks

any ideas would be great....

I have my J&M speaker covers painted on my RG. It's black though so it just blends in. My buddy has a SG in that same red as yours. Here is a pic of his bike with the painted inner fairing. Give you an idea at least with the color. I think the red may be too much with the RG, but that's just my taste..

Here's mine, Its the best upgrade you can do, now is the time to do gauges also if you are thinking of upgrading them too.

I would say paint it! Looks great in the pics above, but I've seen one and thought it was a great mod!

I'm happy with the red to tell you the truth however I do think the gloss black will look good..
