pay the extra $200 and take the 1-2 days down time to save the money. who needs an extra fairing ( unless you can turn around and sell your extra one on ebay)
+1 on having it painted. Plus it will probably hold up better. My experience is that local aftermarket paint jobs seem to be a little better than mass produced. Definitely not a rule, just my experience!
I found a used one on this web-site and bought it for $350 - sold the OEM one to a freind for $100.
Was going to go the "have it painted locally" route, but was going to be down many days.
Very pleased with the outcome.
