As far as scratching it while putting it back together....blue painters tape was my best friend that day


Very Nicely Done !! Looks Sharp!!

I like the idea of a 2-tone inner. I did mine Dark Blue Pearl the main color of the bike and then had the area around the guages done in Gloss Black.

Got started on painting the inner fairing & decided to paoint my helmet also.



Here is the plaque that goes between the lights that I am experimenting with. I am going to go with the "live to ride ride to live" decal

Holy cow, these all look GREAT!!! You guys got me thinking now! I'm a little lost on this statement........

"Here is the plaque that goes between the lights that I am experimenting with. I am going to go with the "live to ride ride to live" decal"

What plaque, and what lights??? I don't think I have that? 2010 Ultra, front driving lights are on a small chrome tube, rear lights are small bullet(I just put them on!!!)

So, I LOVE the two tone jobs.....Wonder what Gloss Black around the edges, and the stock flat would look like inside. Maybe cut down on the glare a little in the sun? I have a Vivid Black Ultra, so kinda lost on a two tone layout......? You think the Gloss vs Flat would be a big enough difference to mess with?

I used to own a body shop, that is at my garage but with factory pack paint . from the dealer & a spray gun & it has not been cleared yet. I need to get the tires on my Vette so I can move it out & build a quick paint booth to do the clear. I am still trying to decide if I want to do some black on it or some stripes or something. They all look great, so no matter what I decide, I know it will be great. The original way that I was going to stripe it may be too busy, so I decided against that. I have some gold micro sequins (gold flake) that I may use, that way I can incorporate it into the bike scheme later if I choose to. I may try it on the helmet first, that way if I don't like it, it will be easier to redo. My garage is a mess right now, I have my Harley torn down, the Vette torn down, a friends Fiero engine torn down & a 1970 Challenger torn down. It might be easier to push the Challenger out & make the booth there, just can't leave it out since it has been soda blasted. I'm getting to old for this, need to just go for more rides.

YES, there have been a few post with the painted inner fairing now that it's getting colder and a few have posted the vivid black and it looks great!

The one that goes between the lights is the plaque that I am talking about.
