Super 90 at the minimum...spray both sides, let sit for 30 sec before you put them together.

DO NOT USE ANYTHING..Especially on the top. It will ruin your foam for future recovering.

The factory only used a trim adhesive on the bottom to keep the foam from seperating at the factory from the pan as it was moved around before the cover was installed. It is not needed for foams that are form fitted to the pan.

Just set the foam on and recover it.

on youtube, theres a video i watched when i was workin on my Honda Rebel bobber project. the guy took a seat pan and glued the foam to it. you can get the aerosol adhesive, almost like rattle can spray paint. it works pretty good. i wonder if the automotive headliner adhesive will work?

Thanks rodeo, but I think I'll stick with Moshs advice, since he be the king of the seat recoverers

New foam helps allot.

The majority of our trikes have OEM covers/foam, and under that there the foam has been degrading.
