Do a 2-tone look with both colors. I decided to do it on my Flhx just for something different.

One of the nice things about a painted inner fairing is as the rider you actually get to see this upgrade as your riding! :icon_clapclap: The two tones are lookin real nice!:icon_goofygrin:

Same back and same dilemma - in fact absolutely same thought process. If black, is it really worth the effort? If blue, could it look OTT after a while. I am quite keen to move the Aux port to the back of the headset and replace the air temp gauge with oil temp, so I figure if I am doing that then may as well do inner as I can get that done for free.

Incidentally, anyone have the paint spec for the blue?

+1 for the two tone on a two tone bike!

I'm voting for blue that will make a statement no doubt.

i posted this morning early and just got home from work to see all the responses. thank you all for taking the time. i am going to do it! blue, just blue. the two tone looks great, but i am going with the factory replacement and then i will sell my black shell on ebay.

though about the oil temp while im at it, but havent seen the flhtk HD guage for oil yet.

thank again.

Tin,

You can usually do pretty well selling the takeoff inner in the classified section of the Forum. That is where I got rid of mine. I also bought a takeoff and had it painted by a guy who specializes in HD paint and repair so I could do the whole swap in one day. Saved a bunch over the HD one and he put extra clear on it as a protector.

Do the blue.Just had mine done Flame Blue Pearl;looks great!

It was a PIA to get the paint though.My paint guy couldnt mix it;was missing an ingrediant for the paint mix,and no one had it.A local airbrush guy had a pint leftover from a previous job,and let it go for $50.Thank god.

Do the blue (one color)

Painted Inner Fairing and Chubby Bars
 

Go with the blue inner fairing. I ordered the painted inner fairing from HD, then sold my stock one on eBay. I did the install myself. Big job but nothing too complicated.
I also installed Wild 1 Chubby 12.5 bars. I have notes and photos on that project on my website, www.FLHTK.com.
