Default Root beer matched inner fairing-any pics of this

Will be picking up my 2011 Root beer ultra in a couple weeks. Had everything pretty much ready to go on the bike until I saw a buddy's inner fairing paint job (Merlot). Really set the bike off, so I am going to get mine done also. Wondering if anyone here has the Root beer inner done, and if you went with the light, dark, or two-tone. Price looks like $430 for single color, and $600 for the two-tone. Would like to see pics if anyone has them. Thanks

I do not see a two-tone option in the catalog. Where did you see it?

Sorry-these prices were thru my dealer, but having an outside body shop do the painting. They mentioned a two-tone as an option, so I'm guessing he has done one before. Are the prices comparable to ordering direct from HD?

Stro-did you have a choice of dark or light color? Just wondering which one you think would look better if you had the choice. I think the two tone is a little expensive, but would prob look pretty cool. I need to make a decision pretty soon so it is done by the time the snow melts!

I chose dark (I actually like the light better) simply because the top of the tank is dark.

I'd go with 2 tone, I've seen several with the paint job carried onto the inner fairing & they look really great, 2 &3 tone, striping, etc. Which dealer in Iowa are you buying from? I know Mason City HD uses Curt Bacon in Fort Dodge, he does outstanding work. If you're going to spend the money you might as well have something custom done, not just a bolt on like everyone else will have.

Bought the bike from Algona HD. Not sure who they have doing the work, but I hear he is pretty good. I was really hoping to see a couple of pics with the light vs the dark, and even a two tone, just to see which one looks the best. Maybe they are all good.
