Thanks it was frustrating at times but now that it's done it was worth it.
today I added a micro switch in the left light switch to mute the radio so small you can hardly see it.
next I think I'll buy an extra remote to take apart and try to wire up switches for the volume control but that's the fun part of it making it your own.

I didnt use Color Rite but from what I hear it is a GREAT Paint but BIG $$$.. The paint on my fairing is Dupont, A Painter did it.. Better price, My trunk a bud and I painted,, Went to a Local Auto Part/Paint store, They shot the bike with a Paint scanner, Mixeds it right. way better price the Color Right,Plus with less cost any mistakes were cheap to fix.......Just my 2 cents
