Default Speaker Grills that have fallen off.

I had bought some speaker grills from Kuryakyn and placed them on bike about a month before I went to Sturgis. On the way home from about a 1700 mile trip, literally on the garage approach, one of the speaker grills falls out. I was curious what other people had used to reattach the grill. Do you recommend more 3m tape or applying some glue or what?

I have had several views on this thread but no responses, so Im thinking that other people have had this problem or several people think Im stupid for asking what would be the best method of reattaching the grills. I would like the grills to stay in place, but if i decide to change themes of the bike dont want to tear material that currently covers the speakers.

3M double sided tape or a light touch of clear silicone will get them stuck back in place.

im not sire u are correct in your assumption with respect to the viewing of your topic. I think most people might think your are stupid or most people just want to read what you posted. However a recent conversation with my wife confirmed im an idiot so disregard what I think.

I have found that some times it's best to leave my comment in my head and not put it in print.

Maybe the people viewing this thread are also looking for an answer, or have been thinking of getting some of them. How were they held on before?
