Not sure what else to call them. I'm talking about the grill in front of the pods. Whether you're working with stock pods or Grand Stand Design's new side panels you have to deal with them.

I went off track (out into the desert) and partially separated my stock pods from its gills. They're impossible to reattach with the stock method. I ended up using Gorilla tape.

Now I have GSD's side panels. Anybody have a clean way to attach the gills to the new side panel pods?

Bonding is not the answer for a track bike. I think I'll use those clip on speed nuts you can get at Lowe's. Paint the heads of the exposed screws the same color as the pod it shouldn't look too bad. Besides it's a race bike, not a show bike.

Do you mean Spire nuts?

JB Weld might work well or any 2 part epoxy.
