I have a stock vivid black inner fairing that I will have taken off sometime in the next couple months. Its off an 06 with mirror holes. There are some makes between the cap and fairing but nothing to be real concerned about. What's it worth?

There was a photo of a two tone one on here a while ago. I don't remember whose it was but it was AWESOME!! and I don't use that word lightly.

Had mine painted. If it's not perfect, it's good enough for me and the girls I go around with!

You really notice a change in the before and after Pics.

Damn. Just when I thought I'd just go vivid black you pull this on me. Looks real good. Might have to order a Merlo Sunglo after seeing this.

Oh, well, now to convince the boss... How many flowers and how much massage time do you guys think equals a color matched inner fairing? Dozen roses and 1 hour? Probably not...

I will gladly do the labor portion for ya. I don't care for foot massages so you will have to stick to the back. I am running a special this week. I will do it for 1.5 hrs massage.
