Mine is vivid black and I have never had glare. Once you paint the inner fairing, or buy the Harley one, bikes with the factory finish just don't look right...

Vivid black batwing & Road Glide no glare issues on either for me. IMO, painted inner fairing is one of the beat upgrades because I get to look at it the whole time riding! LOL!

I agree it is one of the better asthetic upgrades. I'm waiting for one of the experts here to tell you you shouldn't be looking at the fairing but rather, the road....

Ember red sunglo here. No glare. It an old wife's tale. It one of the best upgrades I have done. Looks great with the chrome controls. Would do it again in a heartbeat.

Vivid black and no glare. By far the best bang for the buck, you can do for your ride.

Dark root beer and, while I do get some glare, it is minimal. Never a vision problem with sunglasses.

I'm like some of the others. After having a bike with a painted fairing, the dull ones just look unfinished. The angle you're looking down on it makes it impossible to get a blinding glare from it.

No glare, color is pretty much self-evident.
