RE: Road Comet - Fine Tuning

Southpaw - great info. Lots of folks on the forum have Road Comets, including me. Headlight bleed is bothersome at night. And the fairing does wobble. Your solution is easy, effective and inexpensive.

One member used the trim that normally goes across the top of the windshield to trim the headlight opening. His fairing looks good that way.

I glued a tapered 9" strip of 1/8" thick stiff rubber floor matt along the top and sides of the inside lip of the headlight opening that extends about an inch towards the headlight. When installed on the bike, that strip of rubber makes a tight seal with the chrome ring of the headlight housing. Light is completely blocked and the fairing is stablized in place - no movement even over rough roads.

Others have tried other methods but I really like what you've done.

(if you have a basic photo editor, you should be able to resize your pictures. Or you an send me a few at john.norcross@verizon.com and I can resize and post them for you)
