actually... I did think about using that... I've considered stuffing a garbage bag or some other plastic bag in the gap between the fairing and the engine and then filling the bag with the expanding foam... they actually make a low expansion version because the one in the pic would blow the fairing apart.

I am going to use the gray weather stripping from Home Depot, it has sticky on one side and I can use it to build up the existing foam by sticking it to the foam and shaping the weather stripping with an air grinder.

I used to make a kit for the FJR. I used standard foam, cut into sections about 1" x 2" x 6", attached to the inside of the fairing with double stick tape. It worked pretty well. It's important to get good tape - I used some industrial 3M outdoor tape.
