Insert repair kit
Got a insert repair kit coming for my 2007 Ultra. When I put them in should I use some kind of epoxy, glue or some type of adhesive to help hold them in? If they are good and tight doesn't
t 'seem like I would need to but just wondering what everybody does. Thanks

You don't have to. The insert has a bigger OD than what the hole is now. The new insert will self tap into the hole. If you want to use anything you can but it's not going to really make a difference.

For the windshield?
The repair kits are 1000x stronger than factory. They have big, deep brass inserts that just dig right into your fairing. The only advice I can give you is GO SLOW and back out the insert when you are half way in, and then run it down again. (The plastic shavings can get built up and clog the hole and turning gets real hard and you break a tab off your new brass insert....dont ask how I know......)
