New - RT dash pouch

[Bob Denman]

I'm very interested in how this all works out... Good Luck with it!

[Clicker1944]

I used the velcro strips (I cleaned the dash with alcohol wipes) and the next morning they weren't glued at all. Then I used my industrial strength velcro stips with the same results. I may return the ing thing... And wait for Reggy's...

Same luck here except after putting it on I went for a ride and as soon as I hit 70 on the interstate entrance off it f ing flew. I managed to catch it in mid air as it wizzed by my head. So I reinstalled and pushed harder on the velcro to see if it would stick better. It does come loose overnight all by itself but stays on at regular speeds if I push down on it before riding. Have not gone on the interstate since then and have put some items in it to give it a little weight. Perhaps some of the 3M tape will do the job that the crappy velcro tape apparently can't.

This isn't sounding too awful great...

That is why I left it off for now. I am rYding to my Mom's this weekend (150 miles) and I'm planning on taking some interstate, so I did not feel like testing this at 70+ MPH. I will try gluing it again when I come back Sunday.

Hmmm......maybe a bungee just for temp security.

I used some of the Can Am plastic "press rivets" on mine. I didn't trust the velcro glue. I also had a pack of the cleaner/accelerant from my led tail light, which I used on the adhesive area.

So far, no problems at all - empty or full.

[Bob Denman]

So you drilled the dash for this installation?

[Dragonrider]

I did - three holes. The black plastic rivets look like they belong on the dash, with the bags removed….

Received mine last Friday and found installed it after cleaning the dash with 90% rubbing alcohol. It kept blowing loose at highway speeds Saturday. Bought some Locktite brand liquid super glue and added some beads of it on the bottom side (sticky side) of the Velcro that is supposed to stick to the dash. Hasn't blown off yet, & just tried pulling the bag off (gently). One of the short strips began to peel off the dash. I hadn't glued the end down well, so re-glued it. I think it'll stay. I also trimmed the center long piece so it's ends no longer overlaps into the recessed places on the dash.

While I may have to go back and touch up the ends of more pieces, I think this will work.

Mine is sitting on my work bench looking at me, afraid to drill holes or use a glue that might permanantly adhere to the dash, the pouch is nice but, i am waiting on someone to come up with a better plan, where are all our mod engineers out there, HELP.

I'm liking Dragonrider's cure...

Could you kindly up load some detailed pics, holes, rivets, bag on, bag off, bag with holes.

Personally I think valcro stuck to the dash looks tacky (pun intended), I like sound of this, the black rivets I imagine blend into the dash quite well.

Not only does it look tacky but it tends to come loose in the heat.

Maybe somebody should pitch a PM to Dragonrider for some more details...

I have house guests all weekend - I'll roll it out for some pics as soon as I can….

Just my opinion...... Sucks ....the guy who designed it should be fired, won't stick to dash very cheap Velcro, the two side pocket are good for nothing but pack of chewing gum, I am not going to go on... but anyone who pay-pals me 35.00 will send it anywhere lower 48 was on my bike 5 hours. Velcro I covered with wax paper maybe it will stick to your dash.

Be a good host for them; we can be patient!

Just recieved mine yesterday. I will give it high marks!! My Glock 36 fits perfect in center pouch!! Good quality. No view obstruction. Takes about 30 seconds to install!!

Got to rub the dash with rubbing alcohol before you stick it on. That's the way I did mine and is is really stuck!!

[Bob Denman]

Take it out into the breezes at speed... if it sticks then; you're good to go!

I did post the pics for my install as the last panel in my "new project update" thread under RT tech...

Well, for the life of me I can't find the link. Sure would like to see it.

3M tape bought at Wal Mart holds my pouch on the dash just fine. Still stable at 75mph for a long long ride.

It's the last update...

Mine hasn't come loose since I super glued the Velcro'd down to the dash.
