Dirt between shield and fairing..... :(

[MichaelG]

Dean, good morning. This is the reason why Tulsa windshields come with a thick rubber gasket that is placed onto the bike...before installing the new windshield. The thick rubber gasket/seal fills in the gap that was produced when you removed the old windshield, and installed the new Cee Bailey windshield.

Contact Allen at All American Products...

and tell him you would like to buy one of the thick rubber gaskets/seals that he uses with his windshields.

It will work...fill in that gap between your fairing and the new windshield...and not allow dirt/dust to get in that area.

The only related issue I've noticed is that after riding in the rain, there is a small amount of water that traps in the same place you describe. I might try the gasket Miles mentioned. I also thought that a very thin bead of clear caulking or weatherstrip could work as well.

So far, I've only seen a very small amount in a very small area. There's just enough that you can barely change the shape of the wet area by pressing on the base of the windshield. I hadn't given it much thought, but now that you mention it, I assume dirt/grime could collect there as well.

Had the same problem (dust & dirt) with a Cee Baileys shield. Is it not noticeable with stock shield because its so dark or do the aftermarket shields not seal as well to the dash??

A gasket or a better gasket is a good idea and I will look into that for sure... thanks guys for the reply's

have a great safe 4th of July, hope you have time to get out and ride...

Same thing here with my 13” Cee Bailey; It does not fit as well as OEM. On mine the grit has scuffed and scratched both windshield and plastic piece in the specified area. I have accepted it and moved on.
