Hey.One of them rubbers that are glued to the frame as a steering stop came loose.
I tried several kind of power strips to glue it again,but nothing works for a longer time.
Thank you for any advice.

Gorilla glue, & a wrap of electrical tape to hold while drying. Then forget to take off tape & forget problem.

Worked for me.

Weldwood Contact Cement

Put a thin coating on both mating surfaces, allow that to dry until you can touch it and it won't stick to your finger, align the two parts and bring them into contact.

It will help if you can wrap the bumper with a bungee cord, surgical tubing, or an elastic strip overnight.

The key seems to be wrapping it overnight. I used the superglue that comes in the replacement kit from Buell and wrapped taped over it while it was curing. That was over 5 years ago an they're still holding tight.

I also used super glue and electrical tape until it cured. Still holding after 15k
