Default Black Fairing on Colored Road King? Show your pics!

So... who is running a black fairing (like a stock Reckless or Memphis Shades) on their non-black Road King? Or, did you have your fairing painted? Let's see your pics!

I did it for a short while, but it looks much, much better if color matched to your bike. If you have a two tone bike with black as a second color, you might be able to pull it off, but otherwise, it's going to look like an afterthought.

That's what I was wondering. And judging by the fact that over 160 people have seen this post and zero have posted any two-tone pics, I think there's the answer, too!

Of course, on a RK with black leather bags and a black leather seat, there would be some black accents already. Decisions, decisions.

Oh man, I don't want to start a war with anyone, but I do NOT like that white bag/colored bike look at all. I think I'm 15 years too young for that style...

I recently purchased a Woody's Fairing and had it painted two-tone with pin-stripes to match my 2012 Big Blue Pearl/Vivid Black Road King. I left the interior gel black because I thought the Big Blue would reflect too much. I think it matches perfect and really classes up the bike!

I went with the Infinity PRV-250, Alpine Amp and Polk speakers. Works great and sound good at highway speeds.

It's a coin flip IMO. What appears funky cool to some will look mismatched to others. Do what YOU like.

Agree. But I'm still waiting to see ANYONE post a pic. Must not be a good look...
