Purpose Of Fairing Panel Foam On Ss Ie

  1. I am considering taking the horrible foam off my fairing panels. Looks like about 1kg of rubber there. Before I do can someone confirm that they were there for sound deadening, not heat shielding?

  3. Took me hours to get all the glue off using automotive tar/glue remover, do it outside unless you want to get high....Mike

  4. Should have got a 2002....came off in 2 minutes, no glue to be seen anywhere. And now my bike is 300gm lighter......

  5. Mine was falling off and I was surprised it didn't get into my air box. It was like bad insulation just crumbling up. I threw it away.

  7. I envisage better cornering speed and smoother wheelies from this mod

  8. 300g is probably the equivalent weight loss of several hundred pounds worth of replacement titanium bolts.

    Nice free mod. :upyeah:
