I plan to have mine done this winter. What are the few tricks you've found? I'm always interested in making things easier and faster.

Looks good...but I just don't have the time to do a mod like that without gaining some performance.

Very nice! A painted inner fairing is a HUGE bang for the buck!

BTW...although it is not a 'butt buster,' is is not as simple as some proclaim!

Great job!

Looks great I had mine painted about two years ago and damn what a difference. Best improvement I have done for under $125.
