Default Dynamat on the Batwing...Worth it?

Hi,
Getting ready to do my upgrade, and came across the KW Dynamat kit for the batwing fairing. Has anybody done this and found it to be an improvement? I have done it in cars, and the cost is so high that you always wonder if it was worth the price and the mess to install it.

Any input appreciated!

Does make a difference. Dont waste your money on name brand, can get good and cheap on amazon. Called Kilmat. I got 36sqf of 80mil for $60. Didnt need that much but the lower quantity was out. Enough to do 4 bikes with fairings and bags if you want . Only used 3 pieces on the fairing. Box has 34

In bags yes but in a batwing save your money.

Hmmmm...50/50 so far

I did look at the Amazon stuff, I just hate cutting that crap to fit. A pattern maker...I ain't.

Appreciate the responses.

I put some polyfil behind the speakers in the fairing and it helps quite a bit!!

$60 for many bikes or $200 precut for just a batwing? Ok. But yes . Doing the fairing does help. Same as anything you put it on

I disagree, two 6.5 inch speakers in that space with all the air leaks. Not worth the effort or the money.

I just did mine yesterday since I had the fairing off, it does change the sound. For $60, and can do the bags too, its not much money. Effort? Its peel and stick. Worth it. Much better than paying $200 for precut. Ill precut what I have for $100 shipped. 😂
