New - RT dash pouch

[Dragonrider]

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.

So you drilled the dash for this installation? :shocked: :bowdown: :firstplace:

 

[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.

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... :thumbup:

New dash pockets

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.

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!!

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

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

3M tape holds the hook and loop to the dash.

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

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