Applying Engine Case Emblems

[rickt]

Finally got most pieces assembled on my '78 GS750C restoration project. Thought about installing the new OEM engine case emblems this weekend. They have adhesive already on them covered with a removable paper. Just wondering how good this adhesive is and whether I should use an extra dose of automotive emblem cement to ensure they stay put.

Any opinions?

The ones I've ftted have stayed put alright so far... I think the adhesive is designed for purpose & wouldn't add any more.

No need to add any adhesive. Make sure the cover is clean & wipe with alcohol or something to take away any oils.

It doesn't work as good in the cold though. If it's below say, 60F I heat the part up a little with a heat gun or hair dryer.. NOT hot, just around 95 or 100F seems to be fine

Good info to know. I'll be doing this to my build as well. Ordered the new emblems from the stealership, was actually more cost effective than buying off the con-artists on ebay.
