Chrome Gauge Bezels
Okay,
So I installed the HD chrome inner fairing kit and had a brain fart. When dealing with the 2" gauges, the kit comes with 1 longer piece of double sided tape (or whatever) that you have to cut in half and then each half gets cut into thirds and 3 strips go on each bezel.
Anyways, when I went to do the large gauges (speedo & tach) I followed suite by cutting the strips in half and then each half into thirds. The only problem is that they put 2 double sided strips in the kit and you're supposed to use 6 pieces on EACH bezel. Anyways, I put them on and the one on the tach doesn't fit snugly to the gauge and being a perfectionist, it's driving me insane.
Of course, the other strip inadvertently got thrown away.
So, any ideas about "redoing" the tach bezel? I hate to buy another kit only for the tape. I was thinking about trying some type of silicone. Any thoughts?
Thanks!

+1, I always threw the stupid tape in the trash and used clear silicone.

I believe the white face gauges (SG) have a bit of a chrome ring already and so the kit's not really required unless you prefer the look of the kit. I also know the Limited's also have the carbon fiber looking gauges that also have a chrome ring around them and they look good without too.
Soon I'll have pics!
