Cosmetic Question - the "Made in England" logo
The one on the right engine side cover. Mine mysteriously fell off. Wish they used the same glue on the reflectors! I have a replacement on order. Any hints on making this one stay put?
Bob

Bob, that sucks! So far mine is staying on but boy I'd be po'd if it came off. I'm going to keep an eye on it now, hadn't even thought of that. The drive side of the engine is the coolest looking part of the Bonnie IMO (notice my avatar).

Now I am upset. I think they're shipping me the old "Made in England" one. I want the new one!

How about this...
Clear nail polish, don't LOL...Maybe putting some around the perimeter of the decal may hold it for good. I have not tried it but I've heard it to be used for similar situations.

I'm thinking this piece is more than a decal .... more like a thin metal plate with adhesive backing. For $10.00, I hope so. I'll know in a few days when it arrives.

Did it fall off or were local kids souvenir hunting?

When the bike is out of the garage, it never gets cool enough for someone to remove a souvenir .... likely story, right?
