Super glue is probably your best bet for smooth plastics, keep in mind that the fumes can collect on the surrounding surface and make a white haze, so keep air circulating till it is dry. Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T -Original Message- From: Dave Abell Sender: nighthawk_lovers@googlegrou

There are special adhesives made for plastics. I used to use one when I built model cars that would actually kind of 'fuse' / melt the two different pieces together. I would see what you can find before using regular super glue. - JO On May 23, 2011, at 7:05 AM, greenzer...@gmail.com wrote: >

Make sure your routing bypasses the swingarm on its way to the ground. Battery acid from an open tube will eat the paint off the swingarm. Don't ask me how I know. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group. To post to this
