Out of Curiosity...Any JB Weld on your Bike?

Mrs. Colleen · 08-18-2008, 09:32 PM

Is anything on your bike JB Welded on?

After my husband dropped my bike (

) he had to JB Weld one of the blinkers back on.

Luckily you cannot tell at all but it is still there. I think I also have some tabs and cracks JB Welded too.

So does JB Weld hold your bike together at all?

I swear by the stuff, and it is tough. Just none on my current ride. I used it to glue a shifter tip back on once and I was suprized it held till I parted out that bike... theres a lot of stress at a shifter tip! Its all in the prep work.

A tiny bit of epoxy on the one fairing tab- but that doesn't count. It's strictly there to reinforce my plastic weld.

to be honest all i've had to do is plastic weld and re-drill a hole or two.

absolutely NO mechanical damage to the bike. not even a bent rearset or shift lever.

No JB Weld on either bike but they are both 07's. I almost put race baffled cans on my R1 and some of the guys were having issues with the rivets on the cans when putting them back together and started using JB Weld to keep the rivets from coming loose which I would have done also...so...."almost".
