Fuel Tank Emblems
I am looking for some assistance. I painted the bike this past winter and I am almost finished with the re-assembly. Changed the color from Black Cherry to a Ruby Red Metallic. I am looking for the proper tape to re-attach the fuel tank emblems. I tried the trim tape from the local auto parts store but it is to thin. The stealer doesn’t carry it and New emblems cost $60 dollars a piece. Does anyone no where I can purchase the proper tape to do the job. Thanks for any help.

Usually a good auto parts store will carry an assortment of this double sided tape in different thickness....if not, try an auto body shop, they use that stuff quite often.

RE: Fuel Tank Emblems
if you want true automotive tape - really good stuff!
The best materials would be- an acrylic foam backing with acrylic glue adheasive....
3M's product"VHB" is the BEST!
I would not waste my time using anything else!
do an internet search for "3M VHB" you will find where to buy it.
