Instrument shrouds
Posted: Sat Sep 06, 2025 5:10 pm
The rings/shrouds on my RS/S conversion won't stay put. It looks like a PO has replaced the glass at some point and the indent around the interface between glass and housing is uneven. The shrouds which were on the bike at purchase fell off on journey home from the vendor but luckily I managed not to lose them. They are showing their age, and have lost much of their elasticity.

Interestingly it is recommended to glue them in place when replacing, in which case I see little point in purchasing new replacements.
I've got to go back into the instruments at some point to replace a screw which has escaped from the speedo dial and is rattling around behind the glass... Any suggestions for an appropriate none permanent adhesive in the meantime?
Cheers
