Since mine is Copper and Black and I am pretty sure that a gloss black painted inner fairing would really make my bike pop.

paint the inner the same color of the bike, add silver pinstriping around the guages--it will add subtle custom look

Just my thought!

All the painted inner fairings have looked good to me. Matching or not.

I have been having the same problem - deep cobalt to match, gloss black or the same gray/silver color as the accent stripe.

Anyone color match the inside of their lowers?

Myke,

The Deep Cobalt looks great, just got a takeoff painted and should have it installed this week. When I do, I will post pics.....

paint to match it will look better and you need a set of chrome rings for your gauges

I asked this same question earlier this year and was told the same thing "paint to match". I took the advice and am very happy I did.

After seeing the pics of that red with the inner painted to match, there is no question. Make it match.
