Installing strip between outer/inner fairing

When I took the inner fairing off and removed the black strip between it and the outer fairing, there was glue or adheisive keeping the black strip in place.

What did you guys use when putting it back together?

Dealership told me Super glue is all they use. Just use it lightly and apply it with a tooth pick...

Thanks...the old glue peeled off very easily. It was pliable,flexible and was easy to remove.

No no to the superglue. Silicone it or "Goop".

Super glue would be the last thing I'd use. Doesn't sound like a good idea to me. I'm in favor of the silicone.

I used weather strip adhesive. Works great . The guys that put my bike back together used some **** glue on it and I told em they needed to get their heads out of their azzes and buy something that work's and doesn't get all over everything.. Man I was pissed it was everywhere. I was lucky that it cleaned up . Super glue is for the handle on your coffee mug not for your Harley !
