Default Painted Inner Faring Installed

Installed my painted inner faring Friday. Sure do like the way it looks! I had debated trying it myself or having an indy do it. It isn't that hard, just takes a little time.(2.5 hrs)

I bought the inner from a member here and picked up the switch cap from the dealer. (new take off) dropped them off at the local Ford dealership and told the guy I was in no hurry. He is a rider also and a pretty cool guy to deal with. He is also the best paint man around here.

The reason for my post is to let those debating swapping out your inner faring know that it is not as bad as I thought. I was concerned about getting all the wiring back right and that is pretty straight forward.

Total cost:
Inner faring $80 shipped
switch cap $30
paint shop $50
Labor free

Total $160

Big improvement in appearance especially at that price.

I had mine painted also, which I'd have checked the price first. I picked it up and he charged me $250 for black. I almost fell over.

Big difference between matching black & Glacier Pearl White !! Was only about $100 or so price difference after I sold the old fairing. Perfect match guaranteed !!

One of the best mods you can do. It just makes the bike look classy and completes it IMHO.
