Good decision!

 

Thanks.  I think so too.  Should look pretty darned good once it gets all done.

Don did you ever finish the painted inner

Don did you ever finish the painted inner

 

Brian, no I haven't.  I have the primered original here and will likely take it to a painter not too far away that Travis discovered when he got his bags and tour pak done.  I even know exactly what I'm going to do with it. 

Midnight red to match the predominant color on the outer fairing and top of the tank, dash and nacelle.  Will add small bar and shields centered in each inner fairing storage door done in tudor red (that's the lighter red of the three on the bike).  And on the open area above the radio and seen through the windshield will add a third eagle to go along with the two on the outer fairing.  It'll be predominantly tudor red and then ghosted out with the luxury rich red which is the intermediate red color on the bike.

I did score a correct inner to replace the black one inner that was on the bike.  But it's not a red that matches any of the three colors.  It's not even a gloss color.  It's a flat red that you honestly might not recognize was red if you didn't realize what you were looking for.

That's what is on the bike now.  I like having it better than the flat black one that looked to have been there since it was new.  The truly painted to match will be a winter project though.  I think it'll be sharp when it's done though.

Have you got any red leather leftover from your new seat??     Endless possibilities!

Only some of the candy red vinyl left over from recovering the tour pak side covers.  Though (laugh all you want) I've thought about the burgundy leather for the pockets in the lowers .

Won't do it though.  They're a red leather-ish material to begin with.  Actually don't look bad when they're on the bike and cleaned and dressed.

Pete (pj57) covered the black part of the lowers on his SEEG and fashioned a matching material for the 'doors' and it looked really good.  He said that he just pulled the leather very tight and put it back together.  So he had leather covered where that black plastic part of the lowers was.

Not promising to pay heed to any particular bit of advice but willing to listen to and consider all of it.  Sometime this spring/summer will be getting an inner fairing painted for the red SERG.  The bike is three shades of red and just want to make sure I'm considering any good options even if I didn't think of them myself.

The three reds don't exist on all the tins.  Rear fender and tour pak are this middle red.  Pretty sure this is standard Harley "Luxury Rich Red."

If it were me I'd paint the whole bike grey and black, but that's just me, no bias here.

The black and grey is my strong #2 choice for the first generation SERGs.  So if it could not be triple red it would be black and grey.  Love that photo too.

Don-

I think you need to take Ben's advice and paint yours black/grey.  Look at the size of his windshield and then the size of Ben.  He's one big sonoun not to be dealt with.

It's ok Bob.  He can't swing low enough to hurt me!

Not quite the heel stomp I was referring to - but if country line dancing makes you happy go for it!

Y'know what Sean, it's sad actually.  I am such a white boy without rhythm that the heel stomp you referred to or the one from a line dance could be equally as hazardous.  It's just that in the line dance there is some way it'd be self inflicted.
