I'm keeping the frame/wheels the stock '08 blue... w/ the flames on top of the fairing i dont think the difference in color will be that obvious. Plus the Flames are alot darker in person w/o a flash on them. Blazin, fly me down to texas for a few days w/ my bike and I will paint your whole bike for you.... you guys are spoiled w/ the riding weather

No $$$ for flying but once the weather is better for you feel free to ride down. Got extra space in the shop and an extra bedroom and some great roads around here.

Way cool - and with the flat clear coat, she'll be DURABLE.

What kind of paint you use for the clear? Did you add a flattening agent or buy flat clear?

I like the look.

Thanks Slaughter, I actually bought the flat clear... just an off the shelf can. Have about 5-6 coats of clear. After seeing how easily my glossy fairing would scuff/scratch if something even looked at it, I decided on a change.
