What about JBing some small nuts to the fairing and useing tie wraps through the mesh?

I think that would be to loose then.

Hey, dont I know you? What kinda mesh did you get that you dont like now? That's gonna be a pain to swap it out for some different stuff though.

Ya, I followed you here from that thread on TWF about other sites we visit.

The mesh I used was an expanded steel, it was galvanized so I had to grind it down before welding. over all it was just a pain in the arse. it doesn't look bad but when I do it over i'm going to go with a different mesh.

look at the pics on my gallery..does it look that ? I got mine at Home Depot. I couldnt find the actual gutter mesh in any decent size sheets though. So I went with some kind of contractors mesh type stuff.

no, mines more of an expanded steel grate. I have the plastics off now, and i'm gonna borrow my buddies camera, so i will have pics up by monday for sure

nice, be sure to load them up in ur personal gallery here too..and on TWF.

[Dan Dubeau]

I will for sure, i'll wait till after I give the plastics a bath to take pictures. I want it to look purdy. I got a pretty busy weekend, but I should have them up no later than monday

[Dan Dubeau]

Sorry guys, and gals. I didn't get a chance to borrow a camera this weekend. My buddy went away for the weekend and he needed it. But i will borrow it tonight and post the pics tomorrow. sorry for the delay.

[Dan Dubeau]

Pics are up!

Pics are in my personal gallery,take a look. Ask questions, as I will gladly answer them.

maybe velcro with some stronger adhesive like 3M weatherstrip adhesive?

try duct tape, the tool of champions

[ThAzKat]

I have this stuff called " epoxy putty" it comes in a tube and feels like clay. You kneed it until the color changes and apply. It hardens enough that you can even drill into it, it will hold a bolt on plastic with no problem. The con about this is the fact in adhears well enough that if the area happens to take a blow the part that it is applied to will break first. I got mine at car quest but you can find it at any auto parts store. They usually have a display showing how it actually works.

[Dan Dubeau]

thazkat, that is te same stuff i used for mine, I molded little mounting flanges and then drilled and tapped them for little machine screws to hold my mesh on. I got my putty from princess auto, I think I only paid $2 for mine on sale and there is enough to do at least two bikes

[Dan Dubeau]

double post sorry

[ThAzKat]

Dubeau, does it work good for you?
I found it does great for plastic/metal attachment.

[Dan Dubeau]

Ya, overall I think it worked great for the purpose. As you can tell from the pics in my gallery, I only did one opening (the one for the idle screw) just to try it out and see if it worked. When I do the rest I will still use the putty, but this time I will embed the screw in the putty and use a nut to retain the mesh instead of drilling and tapping the putty. That stuff taps really well but you need at least 6-8 threads engaged for it to hold good enough so it wont work loose, and in some spots there isn't enough clearance for you to get more than 3-5.
