The J&M acoustic pads are made from top-quality closed cell foam, die-cut to fit properly for each application, pre-gummed for easy installation, and they will not catch fire, even when exposed to open flame ,,,,

they do NOT interfere with the reinstallation of the fairing clamshell, as they will easily compress wherever they may touch wire looms or components inside the fairing ,,,,,

HAPPY NEW YEAR !!

 

john,

what about us sharknose guys?

 

Just playing devil's advocate here: is it possible that the mat added weight and caused the fairing to press onto the brackets? If not, can you determine any other reason for it to do so, because you'll be able to suceed in your claim with ESP if you can show a mfg defect was the cause.

The only possible mfg cause I can think of is the moco making radio bracket wrong, or molding a warped outer fairing. Did these parts rub before you installed the mat? Maybe I've missed another possible mfg defect you can show?

 

there have been more than a few posts on the fairing rubbing on the radio brackets. i don't really think its a causal relationship between the wear and the mat.

 

Thanks scratch! I found some posts on this and other forums. Gonna look at mine during some winter projects.

 

I used DynaXorb; also made by Dynamat:

My impression is the DynaXorb does what it's intended to do (dispersing/attenuating the backwave at the speaker) since the strength of the vibration felt with my hand on the outer fairing was signifificantly reduced after installing the DynaXorb, and the sound seemed better with the bike on the kickstand. It's was not a "WOW" sort of change.

I bought mine from Firecap501 here, and he also later suggested to others to simply buy inexpensive mouse pads and use those to achieve the same effect.

The J&M mat is similar to the filter elements used on vacuum cleaners, hair dryers, etc. and for $30 or so more convenient than cutting your own.

Good luck with your research.

I used the cheap mouse pads which Firecap501 suggested. I just cut each pad to fit and used 3M spray adhesive to attach them. I have the ARC mini amp and 6.5 speakers along with the Kenwood KDC-X493 and it sounds really good. Much much better than the factory HK unit.

Same stuff I have and same thoughts on the wow. Mine was about $20 thru Amazon.
Overall Its an improvement for $20
