Default Oem fairing fitment question

You have probably noticed I asked a decent amount of questions but I’m just trying to learn. I had a sporty a while back and ended up on a Ducati. I sold that for the street glide and I don’t regret it one bit! I’m just totally new to the touring scene hence the questions. Tried googling pics but eh not the best.

SoooooI have ‘13 Sg and I noticed that underneath the headlight where the fairing meets the triple tree cover (sorry I don’t know the name please fill me in lol) there is a short piece of rubber. I believe this is causing the fairing to not seat properly as there is a good gap as in the fairing is not sealed. It’s about 1/4-1/2”. All of the screws are in place and snug. You wouldn’t notice it unless kneeling down however I was concerned about rain coming up from the road etc. is this normal? Thanks for any and all help!

Every time I go to put my faring back on that rubber piece doubles back onto itself and causes me trouble getting the lower bolts started, I have often thought of just cutting the ends back so the rubber piece is no longer that the inside lenght of the lower bolts. I doubt removing it would cause any problems with rain coming up.

I would check and make sure your rubber piece is not folded over on itself .

Can you tack in place where you want it to stay with weatherstrip adhesive?

Thanks for the responses

ill definitely check to make sure it’s not folded over and see what the deal is. I knew it looked wrong, thanks again.
