Can't tell from your pictures, but I think the painted inner fairing looks great. I put a chrome piece around my radio and it reflects sunlight into my face. Bad idea.

Chrome front end is a no brainer,one of the first things I do on my bikes. Can't send any pics as it's torn down right now, & that's one of the things I'm waiting for.

Winner winner, chicken dinner!! Chrome ***** CROWNED right here!! Man, I don't know how you kept that thing clean!! I thought I had too much chrome!! I already decided my next bike is all BLACK.....that's the "new chrome"!! Here in So.Cal, being so close to the ocean, we get the "salt air".....plays hell on the chrome and doesn't make it easy to maintain. Nice scoot man!!

You probably have what mine has and more, but just in case.............

BTW, I took off a piece of chrome - the front bumper. Don't like the look. I think it's a cleaner look without it.
