i am not sure if i would want the Gloss Inner fairing
lots of sun reflection
the reflection off the Gauge rings is too much sometimes
maybe it would not be a big deal

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.
