No doubt the Road Comets are one of the top appearance enhancing accessories that you can purchase for the CB. But, $500 is right on the edge for me considering what I get in return. I know, they're well made and the paint looks exquisite but still. Funny think is I won't bat an eye spending that for a fly rod (and one could make a strong case that in material terms you get less than a Road Comet. Strange what we value) 
. So, with that said I finally stopped at a local auto body paint shop I pass every day to work and had them quote me a price to paint the side covers red with clear coat and the Dart Fly screen the same color with a silver 2 inch white stripe down the middle, also clear coated. $342. approx. 3 days in shop. After I post this I'm looking for the paint numbers and calling them back to tell them the codes. Gal said with the codes they can prob mix the paint on site. Doing this should really tie the bike together on par with what the rug did for the Dude's living room.

I spent over a year deliberating with myself over which fairing to get. The dart windscreen looks nice but I didn't like the brackets. I finally spent the money and got the road comment. A couple thousand highway kms and some track time later, I'd say it was money well spent.

My road comet 1 arrived 6/6. Installed it same night. Took about an hour, pretty easy. Quality of the fairing is great, even the hardware looks like something nasa would use on a rocket. Great stuff. Rode with it for the first time today, my initial reaction was that it really did a good job of taking the wind pressure off of the torso, but at a price of greatly increased wind noise. To be expected I guess, moving all that air up and over your chest, it has to go somewhere. I have the larger "touring" screen, air hits me right about throat level. I'm 5"10".
On the bike it's a work of art, takes the bike to a whole new level.
Happy trails.

Well I received the Comet last night from the land of the rising Sun and I will admit after seeing the quality and look of it after installation it was well worth the 500 bucks!!! (and that's a lot ) LOLeasyriderhatch_imp said:

Host it on photobucket and link it.
It's nothing to do with the size of the camera; it's the size of the picture file and iPhones now take pictures of substantial size. As Randy says, use a hosting site and link to it. There's plenty of advice on how in this thread Posting Pics for newbies.easyriderhatch_imp said:
