2014 FLHTK Faring gap
Just making the windshield material thicker will not resolve the gap issue. The windshield would have to have a variable thickness that matches the curvature of the gaps to seal it. Thats very expensive to do on a manufacturing scale & the end result, seeing that the bow gap varies from bike to bike, may cause a bigger issue than it solves.

On the other hand, the bike is awesome in all other ways.

I installed the windshield trim piece and that really helped. Have owned several HD touring bikes, they all have some distortion. Not worth working about IMHO. I love the 14 Limited.

I noticed the same thing the first day I brought mine home. Everyone I talked to had the same issue. I believe ( just my .02) that they purposely made it that way to let air go through and keep the heat moving past you. All part of cooling off the rider, after the last model years where you could roast a chicken in your lap!!!

I've got a 2014 Limited. I just went out to the garage to look at mine. No gaps at all. I put a 7" windscreen on mine, then the chrome strip months ago at different times. Both times I never saw a gap and I'm very particular. I think it's a matter of getting the windscreen in there properly and torquing the screws properly.
