I guess it is piling on at this point, but my "fingers" have NEVER touched my inner fairing so I'm confused about how there would be finger prints on it? Painting inner fairings has always been a very popular thing and CVO's come that way. Never ever heard anyone complain about painted inner fairings. Meanwhile I've heard many complaints about non-painted inner fairings for various reasons.

 

so for years people have been painting the inner fairing and the moco copies the idea. or is there a difference between the 2014 and the painted inner fairing

 

I have the gloss black inner fairing on my 2010 CVO and really like it. I had to put "Back to Black" on the inner fairing of my 2008 FLHT pretty regularly to keep it from looking washed out. The painted one is much better.

 

I don't have a painted inner on mine. However I do have an observation or two and a question as well as I am thinking of going to a painted one.

IMO I think they make the fairing look finished. My bike is rarely parked outside, unless I'm on the road. When I'm home I park in my garage out of the sun. I average well over 10,000 miles/year. The bike is now 4 years old and I have noticed the fatory inner fairing starting to fade on the high-side (right side) from the sunlight. I have tried quite a few ideas from wax to black shoe polish to make the fade disappear to no avail. I noticed quite of few unpainted fairings show signs of fading. I was wondering if painting the fairing would solve the problem or if someone else would have a solution.

 

What is "Back to Black"? I assume you were using this reduce the fading. Where does one obtain it?

 

I love my painted to match inner fairing. Its probably one of the best mods I've done on my bike and for just a touch over $200 through a super nice painter I found in GA, one of the biggest bang for the bucks move I've ever seen on a bike, truck or car in terms of appearance.

 

Thanks everyone. Never had a batwing so was just wondering.

 

To Jerry L:

Those are HD Titanium Gauges, and the bezels are made by Custom Chrome. Surprisingly, the Titanium Gauges are less than the plain black gauges, and also less than the silver gauges.

Good Luck!
