I added a Memphis Shades bullet fairing to my motorcycle. I'm kind of torn whether or not to: Front View (only have pic w/ fairing):  Side View w/o Fairing:  Side View w/ Fairing:  Ego is the anesthesia that deadens the pain of stupidity DISCLAIMER: These are the author's own personal views and do not represent the views of the author's employer. | ||

Painted silver it will not look like an add-on. Not much effort to do it either. That being said it doesn't look bad at all with all the black on your bike. | |||

Wait, what? |
If I did, I'd have it done professionally done and perfectly paint matched, but yes I would paint it. “Remember to get vaccinated or a vaccinated person might get sick from a virus they got vaccinated against because you’re not vaccinated.” - author unknown | |||

I would paint it. But it would be matte black. A shot not taken is a shot missed | |||

matching the engine and frame, a very stylish idea. the only concern is how the wind screen would still be shiny. | |||

Spray on Plasti-Dip Matte Black. Peel off when it gets dinged up with bugs and rocks, and spray it again for a fresh look. | |||

Looks good in black to me. Would only paint silver if you could match the OE silver. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

Use that heat sensitive paint so it changes to gold in the sun.LOL Looked good on Roy Jones Jr. Rolls Royce. | |||

Thinking the black would do better with the smoked windscreen. Nice bike either way. | |||

Paint the windscreen the same flat black. You don't need to see through it, do you? You aren't going to duck that low.  | |||

I think it looks good as-is...but your poll doesn't have the option I'd really pick. I'd go hunting for a small silver vinyl decal to add an accent. I'd probably make the black matte as well, just use a matte clear spray paint. “People have to really suffer before they can risk doing what they love.” –Chuck Palahnuik Be harder to kill: https://preparefit.ck.page | |||

On second thought OLD Gold and Black. | |||

I vote paint it to match. I think that it looks awkward with that big black blob between the fender and the gas tank. Painting it would balance out the colors better. “We truly live in a wondrous age of stupid.” - 83v45magna "I think it's important that people understand free speech doesn't mean free from consequences societally or politically or culturally." -Pranjit Kalita, founder and CIO of Birkoa Capital Management | |||

I can buy the matching Honda metallic silver. I don't want it to die along side the road every other week like our football team...

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Good point. | |||

I think the Black looks like it belongs. Some pin stripe or something on the tank and fenders would add some personal statement, allowing the fairing to blend in, all natural looking and such. | |||
