Fairing gap after fitting Windsplitter?

[Tbird]

I've just fitted HD's wind splitter to my 2015 SGS, the stock shield is 3/16" compared with the replacement's 1/8" so I'm left with an ugly gap and distorted fairing to contend with. I've packed it out with some rubber inserts but not happy that the MoCo should think it's an acceptable result. Q. What have others done to tidy up the appearance, and will water ingress through the gap cause any grief?

hey tbird
when I installed my after market wind shield I thought I had the same problem with fit
it is thicker than your windsplitter
found out that the windshield was not set in the fairing proper it was too far down
eased it up about a 1/4 inch and all was right
try that may be your problem and cure

Thanks for that. It's improved a little, and looks better with the bar + shield sitting higher above the fairing, but still not 100%. Can't help thinking I should have gone for the Klock Werks option.

also check the fairing gaskets make sure they are in the proper position all the way around
