3M Tape Application
I have chrome inserts for my saddlebags to replace the reflectors. I've removed the reflectors (thanks all for the advice). The area is clean, now I need to install the chrome inserts. The temperature is somewhere in the mid fifties here. Will the tape adhere okay in this temperature? Should I heat the surface before applying? Any suggestions?

remove the saddlebags and bring them inside for the install. it'll ensure better adhesion being where it's warm. also like the other guy mentioned, you were right to use alcohol to clean any residue so they'll stick well. the bags are easy to remove so bring them inside where it's warm.

Anyway, they're inside warming up now (the cats are real interested in them). Thanks for suggesting the obvious, I guess I needed that.
