How tough and sticky is this tape-could it take the rain, wind, etc. on the outside of aluminum motorcycle boxes that are next to the exhaust pipe?

Hi, yes, it is a very sticky tape, I use it extensively on aftermarket turbo vehicles. It is generally used as a edging tape to the heat shield mat, they have the mat in the very same material. If you use the mat to cover the box, then use this tape to make a edging with it, it will be good. But you can also use the tape by itself, but will be expensive and not as insulate as mush as the mat. We are a modification shop, if you need more help and pictures, let me know. Aloha.

I used it last week on some fuel lines it seems like the silver will come to flake off a little bit. overall it was very flexible for what I was using it for. taken the contours nicely but it's basically A fiberglass than silver coating

I've built a protective covering using 4" PVC pipe. I think you really need to keep rain off of this. The lip on the bottom isn't that much of a lip.

Not for my comfort level. I bought some of that reflective heat shield foil tape and wrapped it around some rock wool to create a little fire-proof insulated pad that I taped to the bag's heat shield. That would rest right against the exhaust heat shield and kept the bag protected. This was on a DR650 which had similar exhaust placement. Those bags didn't hold up to the beating I delivered crossing wisconsin on ATV trails either. They only lasted one trip (1400 hard miles). Could last years if you were very gentle.

My porch had wood screening so I had attached the Flex-O-Glass with wood 1/4" X 1" strips which held well with just staples. It worked awesome against the strongest winter winds off the lake. I don't know how tape would work but would suggest using the strongest you can find like a 2 to 4 mil 3" industrial tape, but you may still have an issue with the adhesive residue after you take it down in the spring.

yes but make sure you have the tarp lying flat to adhere the tape,I have used on a tarp and it's in Vermont weather, that should say something as we have it all rain-snow more snow more snow and sometimes even the sun

Not really. None of the connections (barring perhaps connection from hub to wire) are ruggedized/weather proof. I wouldn't be too worried in a light sprinkle, or on wet roads, but I wouldn't want to ride in the rain.

I store my gas cans under a lean-to outside, and I hang this on a nail in the back. So far dust hasn't been a problem. but maybe a long sock would be good. Let the air circulate, but keep dust out.

The adhesive is the Scotch Outdoor Mounting Tape. It can hold up to 10 pounds. I't very, very strong. I have my car parked outside and the temperature has been in the 20s through 30s in the past month and there's no problem. I use it in 2 cars to attached the Garmin dash cam. Installed this past spring.

Rain... no pain, Wind... think again. Good aluminium build resists rust and wipes right off but lightweight design may cause to blow away. It is VERY stable in normal conditions and a very handy and useful purchase. I keep one in the trunk and have been shocked at how often it comes in handy.

i put mine in with clear silicon so they would stick. i didn't like the double sided tape they came with. i wanted them in to stay and not show the black tape. rain is not a problem at all for me or going fast on the highway. you have to hand wash your car. hope this helps :)

I honestly don't know, I live in San Diego so it doesn't rain much. It does appear to be well sealed I don't see why it wouldn't be. As soon as it rains and I ride I will put the results up here.

It's fine on motorcycle. Mine's big enough for light jacket underneath. Keeps me dry in moderate rain, never used in heavy downpour. (I have W/S so that helps too.)

I would not mount this kit outdoors. Certainly not expect it to hold up in severe weather.Contrary to C. Schafer's response, however, this kit DOES have a seal around the door. The box is all plastic though, so with 2 hinges and 1 latch, a good seal would not be made. Judging by the design, I would say this kit was designed to be weather 'resistant', not weather 'proof'. I can personally vouch that it can be left out in a light to moderate rainfall and survive it just fine, maybe a couple small areas that a drop or two made it through.On a side note, if the mounting outside isn't a deal breaker for you, this is a very nice kit for the price!

I bought some weather treated ply wood cut to the size of the bottom and over laid some rubber matting. It has 4 or 6 anchor points so I anchored it at every point through the mat and the wood. It's been raining and gusting wind up to about 50 MPH and it hasn't moved or leaked.

Mine is aluminum There may be some type of fiberboard in between but the exterior surfaces would tolerate dampness. Not sure how it would hold up in a downpour though.

I am no expert. But it seems to me that as long as your exhaust pipe is not 90 degrees - anywhere - and that the distance to outside is short & it is away from overhang, you're OK. ....
