1) Can the HD fairing bra be left on in wet weather (then eventually nice weather) without any problems while traveling?
2) How long does it take to put the bra on properly (ie: does it need a lot of adjusting/fine tuning/stretching to get it right)
1. Once I start the ride I won't take it off until I finish the trip. Don't want to risk contaminating the area between the bra and paint. Unless your going on a month-plus ride I would leave it on until you get home. Just get a good coat of wax on it.
2. Installation is simple (nicer in warm weather or in the sun but not difficult):
a.) Loosen the 4 inner fairing screws and insert bra tabs between inner and outer fairing and re-tighten.
b.) The top of the bra uses the existing windshield screws.
c.) The bottom front fits around the headlight trim ring.
The bra works great in rain or whatever. The inner lining is very soft and you install it by using the 3 winshield screws and it makes it fits very snug, very little if anything will get behind it. I have the chrome strip on the windshied which helps hold it snug too. TRust me it is a very good protection device for long distance trips.
I'm watching this one, as fresh paint on my fairing was pretty darn expensive. Don't really like the look of it, but if it protects while on those long ones, well I'm inclined to go for it.
I keep the windshield on my RK on all the time now on highways. I got hit in the lip with a rock and it busted me wide open.
I imagine like the bra, around town you don't have as big a risk getting hit with a object at higher speeds, maybe a bug or two. lol.
