Mesh Mod...

[Storm]

WOW.. I don't want to do that again.. You can see in one photo the sealer is showing from angle.. Probably going to use touch up car paint with a brush and paint the glue black.. Those little pieces were a PITA!

BIG thanks to Sasquatch for powder coating the pieces and mailing them to me!

Your in for a treat.. This mod is not fun! The smaller pieces at the back of fairing are a pita to seat.. Theres not a lot of room.. I had to use 4 tubes of sealer to coat the edges, then put a weight on each one to hold it down for the glue to set..

looks bad arse! I wanna mesh mine but I'm too tardy to get the fairings back on once they're off lol what did ya use for glue? a liquid nails type goop or an epoxy?

I soooo wanna do that, but I absolutely hate taking the plastics off unless I really have to. Looks good...a little touch up paint and it'll be fine .. Good idea on the black mesh!

Yeah I didn't take a chance with mine. I layed a old sprocket on one of the mesh and like a gallon of water on another LOL wateva I could find heavy and flat.

I used High Temp Red Silicon Gasket Sealer from the parts store.. You could probably use epoxy.. I thought bout that after I got it on..

An easy way to glue the pieces on are with something called liquid steel. Thats what I did mine with when I had the kan-o-tuna and it held great. I saw a buddy try to use silicon and it was very messy and didn't hold well.

I had a total opposite results. I use liquids nails first and it suxed. It Dont cure fast very messy. I found using jb welb to get the mesh to hold and Red Rtv High temp to make a secure bond is the best way. I tryed liquid nails first. I dislike the result so bad. I remove the mesh throw that set a way clean all the liquid nails off and remade all the mesh and repainted and reapply it the way I stated above.

I work on Airplane for a living we use red Rtv for all our door seals.

Liquid Steel and Liquid Nail are 2 completely different things

I used some high temp stuff from WalMart & Home Depot to hold mine.

Seems like I recall a member actually using velcro, so the mesh could easily be removed for repairs.

As for holding the mesh in place while the glue dries, I used canned goods. Worked like a charm.

The Black looks good on your bike.

I used clear epoxy when I did mine. Wasn't hard at all. After taking the plastics off, just had to cut the mesh a bit bigger than the opening, then bent, shaped, and snipped the ends to perfection. Used a brick to hold the mesh in place, then glued with epoxy and let dry.
