Adhesive for turn signals
So some of you may have read about by crash a couple months ago, and how I smashed a turn signal. Well, I'd been wanting to switch to flush mounts for awhile, so it provided the perfect excuse!
My only issue is, with the ones I got, you can either drill a couple holes in the fairing to secure them, or use the adhesive sticker they provide. I don't really want to drill holes in my fairings, in case I want to switch back to stock or to another signal that would leave the holes showing, and the adhesive they provided only worked for about an hour. I was wondering if anyone knows of some adhesive I could use that would keep them there securely, and that I could also remove without marking up the plastic too badly? Thanks! |

3M Outdoor double sided tape. Ensure the area is super clean before applying. 2yrs with many pressure/hand washes behind it, the tape is still holding scotts hugger securely to my swingarm.

Great, thanks! Back to Canadian Tire I guess.
And to the Kawi dealer tomorrow just to buy two bolts and a rivet... because every online store wants $35-$50 to ship something that could fit in an envelope. What is up with that? |

I don't know if you got the same turn signals I have, but the 3M tape is what I used and has worked great! Takes a bit of prep work (cutting the tape and making it work around the curves), but I have had mine installed for about 500 miles now and they are rock solid!

Yeah, I got the exact same ones. I think the ones I got might be a little old though, because from what I've heard of people buying these, they only come with two wires attached. Mine had an extra red wire- not a big deal, but still a little annoying :P.
Can't wait to get that fixed up now. Next step, fender eliminator! Recommendations? |

the Adhesive sticker they provide is usually enough. I'm assuming you bought those chinese lights off of ebay.

I have the Yoshimura rear fender eliminator that I really like. It's a little expensive (around $130-ish), but it's made really well, lets you use the stock rear turn signals (or not, if you don't need them) and has a LED plate light... http://www.yoshimura-rd.com/ps-4545-...nator-kit.aspx

The reason why you have 3 wires is because 1 is for them to be running lights. I also have different flush mounts and I used the 3M tape in the above picture with the red plastic. I've had my tape in the rain for over 3K miles. It's outdoor tape so its very strong
