Loctite sells a few different kinds for different applications. ****'s pretty good.

Great, thanks. Wanted bags on my Iron. HD did not have any I could do without relocating the rear turn signals. I did not want to do that. So I got another brand, but I did not want to advertise the name of the bag manufacturer with their goofy logo. I’m removing it and replacing with a small, tasteful HD bar & shield emblem. That’s why I’ve been trying to find the best adhesive to glue it on.

I mounted this emblem on the Willie & Max sissybar bag I have on a fender rack. I removed the 3M tape, and drilled and tapped two 4mm holes on the back about .100" deep. I then drilled two holes in the flap on the bag, and used 4mm stainless buttonheads to attach it to the bag.

Wow Firehawk6. I’ll bet it looks factory. I wish I was near Indy. I’d pay you to do that on my bags. I’m guessing we are doing this for the same hard to explain to anyone reason. The main difference is you can do all that, I would ruin the emblem and the bags! Where did you get tha emblem? I’ve been looking for a small one like that.

That emblem is sold at Harley dealers, it's a Harley accessory/part. It isn't real small, maybe around 4" long.
Here's a couple of pics.

Firehawk6, That emblem and the excellent workmanship of the install are perfect. That's exactly what I am trying to do, except it's another brand, Viking. I was willing to buy their product b/c it fit my needs, and was a great value. However, no offense to them, but I don't want their logo on my bike. I know it's a bit over the top, but it is what it is. I attached a photo of the bags on a similar sporty. They should arrive tomorrow. I plan to somehow remove, or cut off, their logo. I'm not sure what I will find underneath. Whether it will be a spot of glue or a hole? I'm deciding between the two emblem styles to cover whatever I find. Any ideas or suggestions are welcome. I really like the HD "factory" look of your tail bag with that emblem.
