Hey guys, I have a question.
I just installed the T-Bag windshield bags on my 2010 Street Glide.My question is after I installed it I noticed that the fairing cap does not completely seal on to the fairing weatherstrip.There is a little gap.Water can and will deff get in this gap.If I leave this gap will water do damage? Is this fairing 100% water proof to begin with? I would think water can get in from the windshield anyway.I also see the directions for the T-Bags say for use with 4 or 6in windshields, I have a 12 in on with them.I wonder if the 12 in is thicker plastic and this is what is creating this gap.Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

 

I use weather stripping for that reason. Easy fix and cheap.

 

2. the tbag can scuff the top of your inner fairing.

i use sticky back "loop" velcro trimmed to contour on top of the dash- if i ever take it off the adhesive is easy to remove ( lighter fluid) scuff marks are forever.

gap has not been a concern for me- 12" windscreen

TimBone, thanks for the response. I went to Home Depot looking for somthing like that but couldnt find anything.What kind do you recomend and where do I get it?Thanks

 

I just installed one a week ago and I never looked at the gap ? I figured it was gonna scuff up my painted inner also but I would also bet that where its gonna get scuffed I will never see it !

 

Exactly what I did, except hit Lowes.
I used the Marine and Automotive Weatherstripping.
1/4" thick, 1" wide, 10 feet in the package.
not expensive at all.
Hope that helps.
Each time now when I remove the fairing outer(couple times a year), I do a quick inspection
and see if I need to replace. So far, working great going on almost 3 years.

 

I have a bunch of weatherstrip I guess ill have to look at mine

 

yeah man, easy fix if you have a gap!
