• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Caliper trim kit

Hi there everybody , Just a quick question , I tried to install the caliper trim kit today and I noticed that the self-adhesive glue that comes with it it's not that good .
I'm afraid they are going to come off pretty easy.
How did you guys install yours ?
What type of adhesive will be ideal for this kit ?

Thanks in advance .
 
I used crazy glue!!

Mine have been on since March of 2008 without using any additional adhesives. I just cleaned the mounting surface on the rotor pretty good (with brake parts cleaner as I recall) and applied the trim stickers.
 
If you have already tried to stick the trim on with the self-stick adhesive that is on the trim and it does not work, carefully scrape the adhesive off in about three places and use silicone glue. That happened to me on one side and I used Gorilla Glue and it is holding perfectly.
 
1000 miles on mine with the adhesive it came with. Was skeptical but seems to be holding fine !

I have the chrome and black handle bar inserts from Kuryakyn and the adhesive there seemed weak as well, but they are hanging on as well. They seem to be "tighter" now then when I first put them on. Maybe it cures some after application.
