    Not enough...
    Make sure to measure front and back. It's pretty likely that they taper

    Yeah I will probably need to make some custom mounts to get it to work but we will get it.

    Thanks! I'll hopefully be ordering soon! I feel like mounts just like the AccessRac would work since the tracks are almost lined up with the weather strips.

    Zach; since I've been one of the louder ones regarding wind noise, figured I'd mention that by moving the most forward bar back (and really, for daily driving, no big deal) and dropping the fairing to the lowest level I've managed to fix a lot of the noise. Moving the bar back seemed to have delt with the low speed wind noise (40-80km) while dropping the fairing has made a marked difference for the higher speeds. I was originally driving around with my radio in the high 30s, now I'm pretty consistent around the 30 mark for volume.
    I can imagine that it will only get better if I get some of that trim.


    Oh and my duratracs are finally adding some noise, so maybe that's also making it less noticeable!
