1. adhesive the comes with is Kind of useless
Everything about product is good except the silicone adhesive that comes with it. They do give you a big tube but it is essentially just a silicone sealant. IF you only need it for the looks it works because you can take it off easily and transfer to another bike etc. If you need it to stay in place for a crash and or scrape, its better to use some epoxy glue like JB weld. (put jb weld in center and seal parameter with included silicone) will hold better in the event of an actual crash.
