Ever since seeing greenlaner's white curvy in the photos section, I'm thinking white could be the new yellow Saves money on the paint job

Yes I would. They look really good. Just been looking and at about £368 not including P&P, that's about what a set of Suzuki lowers are. How much is a pint job likely to set you back?

lylej that fairing looks way better than the s model pointy with lowers, its like having the lowers but without that horrid join where they butt together just under the indys. friend of mine had his firestorm done by dream machine years ago, quality company, quality paint, very prof job.

I wouldn't trust Dream Machine to paint my garage door. There are numerous documented reports of their screw ups, one from me. 3 times it took them to paint a fuel tank correctly, two of those were when they sent it back the wrong colour, including one time when I sent a sidepanel to match the colour I wanted, and they sent the sidepanel back painted to match the incorrect colour they'd done the tank. To say I was furious doesn't come close, needless to say they never got paid.

Utter incompetent muppets - avoid them like the plague.
