Good news. Harley made the decision very simple this afternoon.
The local dealership is an interesting contradiction. The shop is always an accident waiting for the next mistake to happen. Surreal are the quantity and quality of mistakes that can come so repetitively from there.
Two parts guy, however, are just great. Will bend over backwards to find not just parts but information as well. Whether you're buying the part or not.
The part number for the red inner fairing from the parts manual isn't a good number anymore. So you assume it's been discontinued. I have found a couple of typos in this parts manual though so called one of the counter guys this afternoon to confirm if the number is old and discontinue or perhaps just wrong.
First look said it was just an old part number no longer available. Then he volunteers to look farther. Grabs "the paint book" and some other CVO information I'd never seen before. Looks and looks. Calls Harley. Calls me back a half hour later to say "here you go Don, they've changed that number" but somehow the supercession never got tied to the old part number. Same deal on the number in the parts manual for the tour pak spoiler.
Summary is that there is a good part number for a painted to match dark red inner fairing and it's not even horrendously expensive. $335.00. Getting the local paint shop to scan, mix small batches, make however many storyboard sprays needed to match the color then prep and spray an inner would cost at least close to that much. So will just order this corrected part number from Harley and (hopefully) not even have to worry about the paint match.
