Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but the factory tape strip is on the outer fairing, not the windshield itself.

Your most likely correct. From the parts diagram the shield will press up against the tape. I was thinking the sticky is on the shield but it makes more sense for it to be on the fairing. My question is do i even need it?
