As the title says, what would you use to stick stainless steel mesh to the insides of the plastic lowers?
I have a fair bit of 4 inch stainless insect mesh left over from a job I did a few years back and decided to tidy up the gaping great holes in the sides of my lowers. I know I will have to remove the lowers to do this but not sure what to use to stick it with though. I did think about using Araldite or something like plastic padding but wanted some feedback. Cheers guys. ![]() ![]() Last edited by speedplay; 16-05-09 at 12:09 PM. |

But if he doesn't have a glue gun, why would araldite not work?
![]() That's very fine (restrctive) mesh. Would it make the radiator run hot? |

I cant see it affecting the radiator to be honest as its back behind it and theres a massive gaping hole on the front where the rad is. (Thats next to be filled in but with a stiffer and wider mesh.)

The idea of fitting some mesh to the front of the bike might just restrict the removal of the fairings, i know on the curvy you have to remove the bolt at the bottom of the rad to get them on/ off, not sure about a pointy, but i'd like to see the end product.

i think the post was about the air escaping the radiator, these side vents are for the hot to pass out of and not for the cold to run through.
