Default Road Glide faring trim

Those that own RG's for the most part know the plastic trim between inner and outer faring is a failure. This is my 3rd RG so I have been though this before . This time I got a head of it and changed it to a soft rubber Auto trim. The trim is a bit thicker but molds in well. Used the same stuff on the wind shield trim also.

Looks great, where did you get the trim from?
Thanks

I've used this product on my 07 and now on my 12. Great staying/holding, doesn't get loose and start to come off in the warmer/hot weather. I does look like the OP's photo, thicker than stock that's for sure.

Thumbs up 2nd!

I used the xcycletrim on my windshield when I swopped it out and I have it ready to go for when I open up my fairing for a couple of new mods.
Waiting for a stretch of warmer weather.
No garage, carport is awfully c-c-cold right now.
Anyway, it's the bomb-ditty!

I haven't had any problems with the stock trim. Does the fairing go back on properly with the thicker rubber?

That's a great idea. I have the same bike in the same color. I unfortunately bought that piece of garbage chrome windshield trim. I may get rid of it and go back to the rubber!
