I am ready to sell a kidney if your pics come back looking great :-)
Cannot wait to see how yours comes out. I will have my done before I pick it up (assuming I ever get done with negotiating on the thing.)

Painted inner fairing looks so much better. Harley should put painted ones on the bikes. My opinion of course. Doing this to mine next month. Local painter quoted
$150.00 for inner fairing and switch housing. He uses PPG.

Default Black Pearl Pinted Inner Fairing!

I went the MOCO route. My local dealer hosted our Annual HOG Christmas party, during which we all pulled discount chips. I pulled a 15% chip so ordered it from them. I figured since I have a Black Pearl bike and this being a multi-stage paint color the MOCO would be the best route. This is one of my best and favorite mods. It's not that hard of a project either with all the help from this forum. Judge for yourself:

Thanks. The inner fairing comes un-drilled, but they give you a template and new weather seals. The template is real easy to use, but still provides some pucker factor as I REALLY wasn't sure I wanted to drill that nice new inner fairing. Once the holes were drilled there was no going back.

Nice, the painted looks so much better ! I also wished they would accomplish this at factory, makes for a more finished look.

After all is said and done I am selling a kidney and Blood and doing the HD install, 20% off parts and labor.. and exactly matching my paint...

Bushy, Why are you lying..... you are not going to spend the money, you are just going to show up on Joe's door step for the install. Plus Joe is going to do a better job. Be Safe and stay warm up there.

JIM, BTW it hit 80 yesterday.
