J&M also sells a foam pre-cut pad kit for the HD OEM fairings.

I just didn't want to have to deal with having a wad of polyfil packed in the fairing with no way to secure it. The polyfil may work better, I don't know, but I can say the foam made a big difference in my system.

When I took my fairing off to add an amp, I was surprised to find that the previous owner had already installed the J&M pads. I also added the poly fill wrapped around the speakers anyway. Now remember, I was adding an amp also, but I can say the system really rocks now and I do get lots of bass, despite what some people say isn't possible...

Thanks for all the responses. I will probably try some poly fill sheets. Thanks again.

Does the polyfill absorb moisture, just in case alittle gets thru the top of the fairing? Would that hurt anything in the fairing if it didnt dry out?
