Painting my inner was the first thing I did. You'll appreciate it every time you ride your bike!

A painted inner fairing is the BEST cosmetic mod a guy can do. VERY NICE.

The inner is a little intimidating but not bad. There are a ton of electrical connections that have to be undone and that caused me a little worry. But in the end it was just matching up the conectors and that part fell together.

I waited until I was in a good mood and did not feel rushed. Matching up all of the plastic after the wiring harness had moved was what drove me nutz!!! Move this side and the other side shifts. Move it back and it does something different. Blah Blah Blah!! After all was said and done there was only one scratch on the new paint but it was under a mounting bracket anyway.

Thanks for all the comments!!! Now if that damn snow would just melt!!!
