Default What a Difference Some Paint Makes

Yesterday a few of the Florida Crew got together and had Paul the Fairing Man from Jacksonville come down to the Miami area and do painted inner fairings for a few of us. Paul did an outstanding job (and put up with a lot of ribbing from us!)....quick, professional, and a ton cheaper than I would have paid the dealership!. For significantly less than what HD charges for just the part itself, Paul did all the installation labor and even re-installed my HD fairing-mounted GPS holder and saved my chrome gauge accents for use on the new fairing. Its amazing what a difference it makes in the look of the bike.

Many thanks to Gabe (Fire-Medic) for hosting and putting up with us, and to the rest of the Florida Crew members that I met and made it a fun afternoon.

I agree with others, the bars and painted fairing looks killer on you bike. But like you said, 600 bucks for bars. WoW.

Sweet,
It's one of the sharpest mods one can do. It makes everything up there "pop".
I find myself being drawn to the mod when out and about looking at bikes.
My 2012 has made me fond of the Ember Red so now I have another thing on my to do list, thanks for the pix VTGR. Again, sharp........
