captdave: Me too.

What is the material it'd be made of? How long would it hold up?

Can you tell me exactly how people are applying the inner fairing trim? Somewhere it said something about glue being included...

Glue the trim to the plate; put the plate in the frame; bolt to fender with your custom gasket in between. Do I have it right?

Thanks.

JR,

I'm still consulting on the exact type of rubber, but I've received a recommendation to use black "EPDM" rubber.  I don't exactly know what that is but have been told it would work well for this application.  Soft enough to be partially compressible and stands up to UV, dirt and weather.  I'm hoping to get a sample to see it/feel it.

I don't know exactly how folks are applying the fairing trim.  You might ask Fireguy (see posts 11-13 earlier on this thread) and Rayson who appears to have used it too (posts 27 and 28 on this thread).  I bought a piece myself to try it but saw no glue included.  It fits around the outer edge nicely but I think may be a little too hard.  I can see it scuffing the fender paint from vibration over a long period of time.  My rubber gasket design would be used by itself with no trim around the edges.  It would sit just inside the outer lip of the plate frame itself, and be thick enough to stand the frame off the fender 1/16 to 1/8 inch depending on the thickness of your plate.

In the end, use of a softer rubber gasket will not totally guarantee your paint will not scuff over time either.  I would recommend anyone deciding to drill their fenders to place this license frame directly against it should expect their paint underneath it to be scuffed/scratched to some degree.  If you plan on using this Kuryakyn frame with plans to return to the stock configuration later, I would say to use the backing plate that comes with the frame and live with the gap between frame and fender.  In my opinion, even that mounting option looks better than stock.

So far, 5 folks interested.  Four who have posted here and one via PM.  Still waiting on a bid from a supplier who is supposed to give me a cost estimate for 10, 15 and 25 units.  May not be cost effective, but I'll let you know when I hear for sure.

I'd been in on the gasket as well.

I'm in on the gasket.

EPDM - Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer

We use it a lot in the Pharmceutical/Biologics, excellent gasket material, very weather resistent.

What did you goys do to hide the rivet on fender below the curved license plate on the 2011 CVO?

If you're laying on the ground behind my bike, you can see it.  The trick is to mount the frame so that it's not visable from the normal standing position.

very interested as well, will follow the thread for updates.

Any update on gasket?  I really want to order a palte frame.
