Default Swapping SG Inner Fairing

I'm thinking about getting a painted inner fairing for my Street Glide.I think I know the answer, but just how much of a pain in the butt is it to do that job? Any hints to make it easier of pitfalls to watch out for. BTW, my bike is Merlo Sunglo if someones got one for sale.

Thinking of the same thing...Harley wants $545! Not worth it to me.

It's real simple to swap. There are youtubes showing how to disconnect the outer and inner fairings. While you're at it, you can modify your front speakers or add a stereo amp.

Take your time, label everything and snap some pics as you go....just in case you need something to refer back to. The first time was a little intimidating, but I've done 4 or 5 now and it's cake at this point.

If you take your time you could probably rough it up and rattle-can it to look just fine. I may try that one of these days. Can always punt and buy one if it looks crappy.
