I really like the look of the trim rings around the gauges. Just the right amount of accent. Keep the pictures coming

Awesome result so far. That said, IMO you need to paint the inner fairing, black or red. Either one will make it look much better then plastic.

I have to respectfully disagree, I love the contrast with the flat back inner fairing and red trim rings, along with the red and black paint and powder coating, works really well IMO, just the right amount of red and black all around.

Actually I thought about going with a satin black fairing, but I think the flat is good for now. I really like the contrast of the red bezel rings on the gauges and that is why I left it as is. Maybe someday I'll get it painted.

Well I'm at about 95% complete and I finally got a nice sunny day to roll the bike outside. She is running well but definitely needs a bath. The seat is off at MCC being modified and I sent the AC football cover back to Joe at Powder Pro for some modification. Here are some updated pics out in the sun.
