now there's a thought.. I've had my fairings off multiple bikes at least a couple hundred times.. never once did I pay attention to this tape

If you need a piece let me know and I will send you some. I just bought some off eBay that is the same size. Got it today and it was just right so I ordered a little more just to have.

I don't plan on opening it up anymore so I used some caulking. On a side note, I found covering my helmet in tinfoil helped with the FM reception and as an added plus, quieted the voices in my head..
