I absolutely love the look and am weighing the $ options of having HD do it or doing it myself. I think I can pull it off, especially with some help, but would hate to screw it up.
Just trying to get fired up to jump in with both feet!

Here you go, I got this one done for about 50% of the $400.00 price mentioned earlier. www.attitudecustompainting.com
It's house of color candy red marble over black base.

Your title should have read Painted inner fairing... talk my wife into it... haha I just talked to my local painter and he told me if I bring the inner in he would paint it for 100 bones... and to my disbelief i still cant talk my wife into letting me get it done even with the tax check coming. my point being talk to your local collision repair shop they might have time to get you in and like in my case for cheap.

Do it, I just completed the paint and reassembled it. Best change I've made and can't believe the improvement in the looks!

I entered the winter fully planning on painting the inner fairing and getting the LEDs switched to blue this winter. I think it's a huge impact mod and love the way it looks. The bike's been stored in a buddy's warehouse and I haven't gotten to it yet. If I don't jump in soon it's not gonna happen.
I'm not the most mechanical guy in the room but I can follow directions and it looks like the PDF I've found, as well as the step by step on the forum, should get me through it. My buddy is very mechanical so I expect to be able to get through it.
Any reason not to jump into the project?
If you've done it, what was the downside...worst part?

I have wanted mine done since I bought the bike but the cost was too much to buy it and have it done by the dealer. I finally decided to do it myself so I bought a service manual. It was so much easier than I imagined. I wish I would have done it a long time ago.
