Almost finished my stock 84 restoration. The top fairing is finished but the flat area just above the instrument cluster directly below the screen stands out ( painted red) as you can see it thru the screen, although the new screen has the lower portion blackened.
Were they originally blacked out? Haven't been able to find any stock photos..

Hi Martman,
Yes - the parts of the fairing behind the windscreen should be semigloss black.
Post a picture of your restored bike...

Re: 1984 Canadian bikini fairing paint scheme
have a look at some builds on here, we spoke about this recently when someone painted their bike and left this white and it really looked out of place. I did mine satin black, link to my 83 build in my sig below.
