Default Re-attaching chrome accent rings.
I am planning to paint my inner fairing shortly and I have chrome accent rings on it. What is the best product to replace them with after I put it back together? Thanks.

Pull them off gently with a small pick tool. Replace them using 3 small dots of silicone.

Took gauges out of my fairing w/o removing rings, they slide out the front of fairing.

+1.. I just took everything out of mine and i removed the radio trim with a small screwdriver and the tape was so good i just put it back on after i painted it .. I was gonna tape it off but it came off and saved me the trouble.

3-M trim adhesive works great.
I used it on the weather stripping on the side of the inner fairing also.

As Heathen stated, the gauges come out the front with no need to remove the rings unless you have the one around the radio.
