Default Painted Inner Fairing Owners

I'm trying to decide what color painted inner fairing to order for my new RGU. I'm afraid if I get it red to match the bike I'll get tired of looking at that much red so I'm considering black. Those of you that have chosen the color of the bike (non black) have you regretted your decision?

Nope, mine is the color of the bike and I like it. My buddy has a red RG with a red inner fairing and it's sharp!

My inner is BBP just like the rest of the bike, and I love it.

I hear what you are saying, but I've seen a bunch of red inner fairings in pictures and liked all of them. I would say especially on the roadie since the inner is so visible, I would match it...

Default Replacing chrome handlebar housings

I want to re-install the OEM handlebar housings and levers and keep my chrome for my new bike. How difficult a job is this for a non wrencher?

Scarlett red Street Glide with inner fairing to match. I never get anything but positive comments.... "man i love the fairing to match", Who did it, really looks good, Gonna have mine done when i get the money.

Best $300 i spent, i never get tired of looking at it. I paid $1650 for the front wheel and only see it when i am off the bike.

Go for it, same color as bike, you wont regret it.

Mine is painted to match and I love the red. Sets it off and I don't get tired of looking at it. One of my favorite mods I have done.
