Has anyone used anything different to trim the inner fairing instead of the pieces from Harley or the auto store? I used to rebuild machines in a factory,and we used some sort of vinyl pinch strip around the expandable metal cage edges. I had thought about using something like that,what else has anyone used? I really need some ideas.

 

Actually I picked up some clear silicon air tubing ith a 1/4" ID and it looks pretty good with my painted inner faring.

 

Isn't that a piece of junk Harley installs on the inner fairing? It's not even a decent dust seal much less water.

I watched a guy here locally open up his fairing for the first time since buying the bike 12 years prior. There were weeds growing inside. I don't know where all he had riden but there was a lot of dirt and dust covering everything.

 

I just had my fairing off and was wondering the same thing. The HD trim on there now keeps coming off and at times I forget to check it prior to putting the fairing back together. I'll notice it after the fairing is which means take the fairing off and fix the trim!

 

I have been wondering the same thing, thanks for posting this question!

 

Go to the auto parts store and get door edge trim. It comes two pieces to a package and works GREAT. You need two pieces that are ~26", so avoid Pep Boys' 24"ones.

 

That is the auto trim I was talking about. I used it last time ,and I am not a big fan of that stuff either. I am looking for something just a bit more wider and flexable than the Auto trim strips. Anymore ideas guys?

My bike has some soft black rubber channel on the inner, I just bought the bike about a month, and a half ago, so I don't know where it came from....it does keep inside the faring clean, and dry , it is almost as soft as neoprene.
