Title: Pilot light warning plate
Post by: TezzerTel on February 10, 2025, 07:59:25 PM

I'm renovating the front of my CB500 and I've removed the pilot light warning plate. What's the best adhesive to put it back on?

The original glue was something like Bostik, maybe try that first.

I used very thin double sided tape, seems to be holding ok.

I'm not keen on that idea Steve, leaves gap where water can get in (it does face upwards after all) this may end up blowing the face off, glue should spread and seal the edges thus avoiding that.

Which is the pilot light? I've heard of one on a boiler but never heard of reference to one on a bike, just so I havent missed anythung. Is it an old term for something else? ;)
