Gents,
In the next couple of weeks, I will be adopting D9's excellent procedure for shortening the turn signal stalks on my new Bonny. Many know that shortening the turn signals in front with the up high turn signal position creates interference when inserting the ignition key. The workaround for Bonny owners is to install a Thruxton front turn signal bracket which lowers the position of the turn signals and I believe improves the look of the bike in front. To my eye the stock Bonneville turn signal position in front is a bit too high. British Customs makes block off plates that will cover the existing holes when relocating the turn signals into the Thruxton position...see pic below.
My question is, has anybody used their little plates and if so, how did you attach them? I guess a couple of approaches could be used...say a 3M high adhesive 2- face tape might work or perhaps a good weatherstrip contact adhesive. Don't think the plates have any mechanical attachment feature...they are simply flat. The other approach would be to purchase the same oblong plates with holes in them as you are available as well. It would seem redundant however to run fasteners to retain a cosmetic plate.
Suggestions and/or opinions?
Thanks,
George
