So I wanted toget feedback on using the 3m tape to attach the fascia to the RG. I ordered everything in order to drill holes but it looks to be easier to use 3M tape.

Is anyone using a special 3M tape and where did you buy it?If you had to do over would you drill this time, or is the tape working fine?

It looks pretty straight forward once Igotall the parts in. Any secret tips on the install I should know about ?

 

JUST DRILL 6 HOLES.. EZ JOB AND ULL NEVER WORRY ABOUT THE 3M TAPE LOOSENING UP.. DID MINE OVER THE WINTER

 

did 3M. No problems going on 6 months. Got it at a auto parts store.

 

if you use tape - go with 3M VHB tape - you can get it as a piece of double side tape, or as an acrylic cellullar (looks like foam) material. Adheasive is an acrylic glue as well. This is BEST!

do an online search for best place to buy - Grainger is one place.

 

Now that you have posted your intentions everyone knows that your bike is held together with tape, bubble gum and bailing wire.

 

My fender is drilled, but at least several guys have used the 3M VHB (Very High Bond) double-sided tape.

I've had mine for about two years without any problems with the LED--but some guys put a little clear silicone around the wires where they exit the LED to promote a better seal.

 

I drilled mine but came up with the idea of the 3m tape and suggested it to Chicago Spike. I know he did it that way and as far as I know, no problems. Maybe drop him a PM and ask. If I had it to do over again, I would use the tape. That 3m auto trim tape is not going to come lose. The fascia is held in place by a clip at the rear fender. The tape only holds the sides against the fender and there is no weight or opposing force to cause the tape to loosen. Just prep the surface correctly and that tape is not coming off.

Ok I drove all over town looking for that VHB tape and no luck. So I bought some Loctite heavy duty tape. I am hoping it works it's rated for 11lbs per 6 inch so surley it will hold.

I just cringe everytime I think of drilling that fender so I think I will try the tape first.

Wish me luck!

 

Where in Texas are you....how much tape do you need? I have a couple of big rolls, and one 8"X12" sheet of the stuff.

I am in Katy....extreme west side of houston.

send me a pm if you want some...

 

Exactly. I used the double sided tape method. Bought some used for auto fender trim. Worked great. I didn't want to drill the fender. It has only been a few months, but I have not had a single issue. For me, it worked great, and I would do the same thing, again...
