Well, today I noticed the Lighting logo on the fly screen was starting to peel. So, I went and got some super glue. While putting it on some of the glue ran. Well, now a have an small area just under the logo that's a small hazy white. I've buffed it with just about anything I can think of and only gotta bit of it off. Anyone know of anything that will take this crap off? If not, how much does a fly screen for the 9SX cost? |

Cataract2, I don't know the answer to your question, but Daves can hook you up with a new fly screen. |

Fingernail polish remover (acetone) will remove superglue. Don't know what it will do to the Buell plastic, though. Good luck, Bill |

Tried it. That sucker is on there good. Might take another shot at it later. If it doesn't work I'm calling Dave. |

Most cyanoacrylate remover actually dissolves plastic - so avoid that. Acetone would be the next logical choice but you have to soak and again, don't know what that would do to the fly screen. |

Novus 3 will go a long way if you have the patience. You will have to get the superglue off first, maybe with something like 1600 grit sandpaper, then novus 3 then novus 2 then the harley glaze. If the flyscreen is expensive, I have a "donor airbox" that I can experiment with to see if you can do the really high grit paper and recover it with novus. |

I'll give that a run. Novus 3 did get some of the glue off. Looks like it will take some elbow grease. |

Methanol is the standard solvent for hardened superglue but yeah, try it on a corner first in case it dissolves the flyscreen. Hobby shops selling model airplanes usually have solvent for cleaning dried superglue |

get yourself a very sharp flat blade,like a hobby/craft knife and gently use the sharp edge to remove the glue.... i had the same thing happen when i spilt some on my carbon hugger,lifted it right off,polished afterwards and now never knew it was there |
