Batwing Speaker Cover

**Bamabrat** · 08-01-2013, 12:00 PM

My speaker cover came off my batwing yesterday while riding. Actually, 99% came off and I stopped and pulled it off so i didn't lose it on my way home. I'm not sure what I should use you reattach. I have clear silicone and super glue. Which is better? Something else? The radio is "marine" grade, so I assume the speakers are as well, but I'd rather not test that theory, and would like to replace it ASAP. Thanks.

I would go to autozone and get a small tube of black "weather strip" adhesive, clean everything good with alcohol, then glue it on. That stuff is incredible. The other thing if you have room is the 3M double sided tape, that stuff is pretty awesome too.

Thanks Cliff. I have the 3M auto tape, but didn't even think about using it. I've used it for putting emblems on my last bike, fixing a metal-to-metal contact in my headlight, etc. Anything and everything. Great idea. I'll try that.

That will do the job, and the silicone would also have worked.
