3M tape for attaching street glide rear fender trim

for those of you used the double sided tape toattach the streetglide rear fender trim to your roadking/electraglide/roadglide, what did you use? Is there a 3M part # or something? Want to make sure I get the right stuff.

thanks...

The website for the folks I bought my flags from (rumblingpride.com) mentions the 3M tape as VHB or VBH, can't remember which one but you can go look real quick.

I wish I would have thought of the tape when I did mine, not that I plan on taking it off, just the stress alone putting that drill bit too my fender, it all worked out fine in the end. go to your car parts store and tell them you need the tape for ventvisers (the visors people add above the windows on their cages, in case you don't know what ventvisors are).
