I love custom bikes but I hate this kind of thing but let's not forget it's a 'custom bike ' it's not a comuter or a race rep or a cruiser or adventure bike
It was built because the owner wanted it !
The pan parked behind looks better IMO

If you own a race bike - never paint the fairing. It is a recipe for certain disaster.

What about if you have a disc brake, is it OK then?

Every paint job Ive evrr done has been a recipe for disaster
