I have kind of a love/hate relationship with Adam's. More trying to help the forum than Adam's. I've had a hard time finding anything that would really clean the rubber without leaving a film that would just attract more crap and this stuff worked perfect and it was quick.

Lol I did the same! I hated how they were always dusty and turned some kind of shade of brown. Lifted them up to clean and noticed a dust shield and from that point on out came the sharp scissors and off they went!

That's the way to go. Very nice. Can you share a source for those? I can't use the upper ones. I don't think they will work with my fairing bracket. Looks great on yours.

I'm un-decided about the gators, I'll clean them up first.
