Default Fuel Tank Emblems

I am looking for some assistance. I painted the bike this past winter and I am almost finished with the re-assembly. Changed the color from Black Cherry to a Ruby Red Metallic. I am looking for the proper tape to re-attach the fuel tank emblems. I tried the trim tape from the local auto parts store but it is to thin. The stealer doesn’t carry it and New emblems cost $60 dollars a piece. Does anyone no where I can purchase the proper tape to do the job. Thanks for any help.

3M Exterior Double-Sided Tape works like magic. If it's not thick enough, you can double it up. Wal-Mart carries it if you have one in your area.

Usually a good auto parts store will carry an assortment of this double sided tape in different thickness....if not, try an auto body shop, they use that stuff quite often.

if you want true automotive tape - really good stuff!

The best materials would be- an acrylic foam backing with acrylic glue adheasive....

3M's product"VHB" is the BEST!

I would not waste my time using anything else!

do an internet search for "3M VHB" you will find where to buy it.
