Keeping your screen trim [Archive]

Anybody got any idea on how to keep my next screen trim as the one I did have decided it was taking a leap of faith this afternoon and after hitting me in the face leapt into a bush on the side of the road.

Its made an attempt at freedom in the past but I have always caught it and pushed it back on while riding. But when I get the replacement trim I would quite like to keep it this time round.

Any tips on how to keep it will be greatly appreciated!

epoxy it to the screen. You'll never remove it then!

Glad I could make your Thursday a bit happier!

The epoxy thing should work, is there any specific make I should look at that wont cause problems with the plastics.

Don't properly know. I've used Devcon 2ton epoxy in the past, and that seems to work on most things.

Araldite should do it. I've used it on plastic stuff before without issues

Just looked at one i have here that seems to have a strip of 3m adhesive tape in the "U" of the trim. Maybe better than trying to glue it in case you ever want to get it off again!?

Coach bolts, or some 6" G clamps.

A thin bead of RTV (silicone sealant)would do the trick, plus you'd be able to remove it if you wanted to in the future 8-)

Slow down! I was (for a change) only doing 60 mph, must have knocked it when giving the bike a clean.

Some good ideas, I am keen to actually have the ability to remove it again should I need to so RTV or tape sounds like a plan.
