inner fairing paint recommendations flhtk
considering installing a painted inner fairing. i have a 2010 flhtk flame blue/vivid black.
options:
vivid black - is it really worth the effort using the same color? i'm doing it myself. they look great in pictures and in person, just trying to value it.
flame blue - is it too much blue on the bike? will it get tiring? leaning this way but have trepidation.
leave it alone - i'm doing alot to my bike this winter. i am swapping handlebars to sweepers, so i thought if i am going to do inner fairing ever, may as well do it at the same time. could just leave it alone as it looks like a big job.
what say you? thx - tin

I too, have an '10 Limited in the flame blue / vivid black and was thinking the same thing. Saw an ad on the Jacksonville, Fl. Craigslist with nice pics that advertises removing, painting and reinstallation of the inner faring for $300

Go with the Blue, you won't regret it...depending on the color and supplies, you can get it painted at local painter for about $100-150 depending on where you live. (I paid $125) Great addition to the bike...
This is the Deep Cobalt Blue, just after I did this project 2 years ago...

I think you should do a 2 tone inner. Take a look at mine. 2 tones help break up the colors and lets you show off both of the colors in the bike. Solid color bikes just don't do it for me so when I decided to do the inner I didn't want to use the single colors that HD offers.
