Dynaxorb Works
Installed Dynaxorb that I purchased from Firecap to the inside of my outer fairing today and it works, at least I'm hearing more mid- and bass level:

I'm no audiophile, but before I installed it, I'd paid attention to how much vibration I could feel if I placed my hand on my outer fairing with the headunit playing music. I was surprised by how much vibration was in the outer fairing. After the Dynaxorb installation, much less vibration, and the strength of the vibration (amplitude???) greatly reduced--there is still vibration, but much less noticeable.
As for the sound, seemed like the mid and bass were better; my buddy (who is an audiophile and has heard my music before), confirmed my impression.
So, no empirical data; just touch and ear. Hey, for $25.00, I wasn't expecting anything drastic and it isn't; just better than it was.

I came to the same conclusion and was pleasantly surprised. It may be pychosomatic, but I'm happier with the sound, even if it's in my head. I do think I actually hear a noticeable difference in midrange and bass, though, and for $23 I would definitely do it again. Coupled with the Hogtunes speakers, amp, and Tweeter Pods I have good sounds coming from the bike even at highway speeds.

Not trying to muddy the waters but I could hear no difference with the Dynamat inside my fairing. I did leave a small amount to dampen a vibration from the bass tones and doing that cleaned up the bass sounds. If you have a sound induced vibration or rattle either product works great. Neither is the miracle product attested to in other posts - at least as far as I've found.
You can easily tell if you have a rattle by having someone push on the outer fairing with their hands (thereby dampening the vibration) while you sit on the bike and listen to the stereo. You probably won't have to mat the entire fairing to eliminate the rattle.

Leftcoaster: I didn't use Dynamat (the sheet material that some guys have lined there fairings with); used Dynaxorb (by Dynamat) and it's a rubbber-like square (maybe 7" X 7" or so) with a geometric pattern molded into it like you see in some sound studios. I posted the link to the product.

Will do an "Update #7" later this week or week-end since the fairing lowers are on the bike; tour pak spoiler installed; etc. Bike still needs some buffing by the painter, but very pleased.
