Default 2014 FLHTK Faring gap
Is any one having the same issue. Where the faring meets the windshield the faring is bowing out between the screws leaving a gap that water could run down an in. Showed my dealer and Harley response was they changed the thickness of the windshield to a thinner one.

I noticed the bow in top of the 2014 fairing when I changed the windshield. I checked the bikes at the dealer and all of them where the same. It is apparent a design issue.

If they are all like that maybe it's not an "issue?"

I've noticed that as well, but right now I have so many other issues with my 14 Limited that I didn't want to distract my dealer from the other issues.
