I am going to go with the Hells Foundry Carbon Fiber inner fairing. Since my bike is vivid black, I think it will stand out better than a black painted inner. It's only about 50 bucks more than a painted one from HD, so to me, it's worth it.

Thumbs up

Just do it!!I dont think you`ll have glare.I have a Flame Pearl Blue inner,and there is no glare.

Shop around,and see if you can find a body guy that works on the side.I found a guy that works at one of the best and busiest body shops in the area.He hooked me up!!!!

He is younger,but does great work.Plus,he doesnt have a house he cant afford,or kids that suck him dry,and his prices reflect this.Just cause its a bike,doesnt mean it has to be $$$$$$$$$$$$$.

Good luck on your decision!

I can tell you, that you won't be getting your stock fairing shot for that price. I talked with a company in Golden Colorado, who used to paint bikes for teh Harley CVO lineup. I was quoted over $500 bringing to them, more if they filled the mirror holes. And that was for their matched paint, not a quart of it from HD.

In the end, I ordered from my dealer, because allegedly there are issues sometimes with the paint, and the way they're packaged from the warehouse, shipping is around $75 cause the box is over 108" in girth.
Paying that once is ok if the paint is perfect, but if not, you just ate up any savings from ordering online.

I think I paid about $530 OTD for the fairing. My dealer gave me 10% off for military...
I ordered one from the dealer also for the same concern. I was told that if painted items arrive with a run in the paint or "orange peel" the item is consideres to be acceptable by harely standards and would not be able to be returned because of the imperfection. This doesn't seem right to me.

Just do it, you won't believe just how much better the bike will look.
I think my dealer charges 3 hours labor, but they are usually higher on hours on most things.

If you order a painted inner fairing in a color match and it comes in with a run or orange peel you are STUCK with it?????? That sucks!

Is that three hours labor to remove the fairing or to paint it,, or both?
