I just purchased a quick detach fairing for my RK Classic. I have leather covered hard bags and a custom paint job on tanks and fenders. Because I'm not sure I can find someone to duplicate my marble paint job and my painter being unavailable, I've elected to go with the unfinished fairing (which is actually a nice gloss black), and I'm putting a bra on it to match my bags. That's the ONLY reason I would put on the bra. The gloss black is nice but doesn't seem to go well against my paint job (kinda like seein' a nice truck or car with an off color hood)....but put the bra on and the leather at least matches the bags. I'm not concerned with the paint because eventually I will find someone who can match the colors and marbling along with the striping. My buds and I respect each other for WHATEVER we wanna do with our own bikes....that's the beauty of bein' a biker....you do your own thing. If you choose to take their advice, take it and live with it. If you don't, live with your choice. I like my King and the way it looks. If someone else don't, it don't bother me that they don't. Their right, their privilege. Cool beans.
