Default Painted Windshield?

Ok, so now that I have to have my fairing repainted, I'm toying with having my windshield painted to match. Anybody have theirs painted to match their bikes color.I'm Looking for some pics? Thanks

Nobody's done this? I'm taking a road trip down to MA to bring my damaged fairing to Pat Friday and was seriously considering bringing the Klock Werks 6.5 windshield as well? Might look like sheit but then again may not?

I've seen it done a lot. I could take it or leave it. I guess the right color makes a diff. look in February American Bagger. You will see a few. www.americanbaggermag.com

I have a Sinister windshield that is painted. I can't get my pics to work on here for some reason? If you go to Sinisters website it can give you a little idea.

I'd do that if I hadn't ridden with a Klock shield first. I went through 3 shields then ended up with a Klock Werks kind of by accident. The difference in handling is very noticable. Most of the roads I travel are 55Mph and over and frequently windy. Also lots of Interstate. That Klock plants the front end. Wouldn't have ever believed it if I hadn't witnessed it myself. I used to think it was hog wash...Its not!

Now on that bike it looks nice! That whole bike looks real nice...Mine is a Brilliant Silver pearl. Not sure how that would look? Maybe a little silver construction paper mock up?
