Vance and Hines Logo--> Glue?

[cloudbreakmd]

The logo on my brand new pipe fell off. What should I use to glue it back into place? Can I use Gorilla glue or something to that effect?

[Craiger]

I would think that would melt away in no time. How'd it fall off? Seems mine is riveted on, if I remember correctly.

[cloudbreakmd]

It came like that in the box. The glue (looks like glue gun material) was smeared all over the muffler.

[cloudbreakmd]

And yes, on Yoshimura pipes, they are riveted.

Perhaps this will help.

My exhaust is a Vance and Hines, for the record.

Sounds like JB weld might finally be good for something.

Sorry about that. The pic in your signature makes it look like the Yosh pipes on my GPZ.

It's cool. I'll take that as a compliment. :-D

I'd thought of JB Weld, too, but was concerned about it's thermal properties. Perhaps that would be a good, cheap alternative. It's available just about anywhere.

JB weld is sort of brittle. The vibration on the muffler makes me a little weary. I hot glue gunned it in place tonight. After it is running I will inspect it and see how it hold up. If it makes me nervous, I may have to start looking for a high temp flexible solution such as the silicon mentioned above.

I've seen JB weld hold up on an engine quite nicely and for a while too.

But the vibration would worry me too.

I had the same problem with my V & H. I used a high temp adhesive by 3M and had issues with in one or two rides. Took the dremel out to clean the surfaces up and went back with JB weld. Two months and a couple hundred miles later and it hasn't budged or shown issues at all.

I would break out the drill and pop rivet it on.

Silicone should work.

[ScottMc1100L]

Hot Glue Gun :-| ?? That will work great if you plan on hanging the pipe on display in your living room. You are going to lose it!

High temp silicone

Silicone should work.

It's a sealant, and an adhesive. Use just enough or you'll have it shmeared all over the pipe :razz: Let it set up for a day as well. Cheers.
