I find 50mph to be about optimum for staying as dry as possible. Much
faster than that causes the wind to start forcing water through various
leaks, including the seals inside the front fenders (which eventually drop
water onto my lap), and the seal under the windshield frame. Not a problem
in a drizzle I suppose, but messier in a heavy rain.

I don't believe there was anything there originally. The apron is clamped
pretty firmly between the support and the bracket, the paint under the
bracket seems to survive fairly well. But you could certainly cut some sort
of packing and put it in there ...
