Yea NC.......that's what I'm thinkin. That's a little beyond my DIY capabilities but I think I can have it done pretty easily.

Don't have the final numbers......haven't sold the Memphis Shade fairing I used last year and I sold some OEM takeoffs on ebay so I bet my actual $$$$$ out the door will be less than $550. The fairing was the most $$ @ $235.00, everything else I had or was nickel and dime stuff.

Looks good.

What about getting a vinyl sticker made for the decals

Hey Kozy.......I did some internet searches a week or so ago.......I'm not sure that you can clear coat over them, but that would solve the issue. Most of the companies I found did flames, that kind of stuff, I need to find one that can customize the decal. Still a good idea.....Thanks

Did you check these guys out? Says you can clear coat, and says they will make custom designs

This one might work in your colors

If I duplicate the fender decal it will run up from the headlight, if I do the tank version it will run along the sides.
I've gone to the dealer to try and buy the decals........no deal, they don't even show them in a parts breakdown....that's why I'm thinking painting.

Now I just wait for a nice long trip so I can enjoy!
Looks awesome. Nice work. Too bad the weather's going to suck around here this weekend.

I think the sides need something but thats just me. Reason I say that is b/c its wider than it is tall. Bike is looking killer tho. I really like that white and the fairing is really nice.

Hey Mike I sent you a pm. Got a question for you regarding your fixed mounts on your bike that you attach your fairing too.
