Back with a 500 ....

<< < (37/46) > >>

Oddjob:
As I said Simon. Dry fit the trim. Put masking tape along the edges, both on the outside and inside of the tank. Put enough silicon in the U that when it fits it will squeeze out the excess, allow to cure for a few mins, good idea re putting some on to hold it in place TD, wet finger and smooth off the joint, then remove the masking tape along the edge which will take off the excess silicon and keep the paint free of it. That should do it and keep out any water used to wash the bike or if it rains.

Seriously Simon, learn the lesson I learnt the hard way, don't use the clips.

This may be my last piece of advice on the forum, this Sunday I will be leaving the forum for good, I have no axe to grind, there is no ulterior motive except to help you avoid what I did.

Ken

Good points all and explains a method well - I’ll be avoiding clips !!

Your advice is always on point to is of lesser knowledge and hopefully you will stay around

Chrome is chrome, plastic coated metal of dubious quality doesn’t really do it for me especially as it’s a faff to fit, easily knackered and stuffs yer tank if not put on in a way and even then is a water trap. Each to his own though but personally after coughing up. For s paint job the lady thing is do is stick that garbage to it!
