Default Dynamat in fairing

Just put Dynamat in my fairing. Worth the time and $40? Or waste of time and money?

Improve speaker sound, maybe? Seems like extra weight on the already flimsy brackets. Pass for me, but looks like you did a nice job of installing it.

Well, you already spent the $$ so does it matter? I have dynamat in my fairing and it made a little bit of difference. I just recently wrapped my speakers with polyfill and that made a more noticeable difference in bass tightness. I had a couple sheets laying around that were used for package cushioning. Buy a cheap pillow and get it from there....

i went to wal-mart and picked up a blue foam workout mat. cut it to form pieces and used 3-m glue to retain contact to the fairing. That was around 10.00 and works great IMO. adds a more solid sound to the fairing speakers.

My concern with the blue workout mat is it will act like a sponge and soak up any water that might leak into the fairing. Poly fill will shed the water. Just a thought.

Actually it is well worth the money. I am sure that you have noticed a difference in the sound of your music. It will also help keep out of the fairing. I put it in mine about 2 yrs ago along with my saddlebags as I have speakers in it as well.
