I have a motorcycle and I'm curious as to how well it would stick to a metallic surface. Has anyone tried this or have any suggestions on others?

I definitely wouldn't use it on a motorcycle. It falls off my windshield randomly and my dash is flat and it won't hold. The suction isn't strong enough. Plus the "sticky" part of the holder isn't very strong. I would recommend a mount that you can secure onto your bike that screws on. (I hope this helps!)

I have had it in place on a motorcycle fairing for 10 months. It is still glossy and looks great. It has been used daily in all types of weather without breakdown. I hand wash the surface with soap and sponge. It cleans easily and has resisted chipping from road debris kicked up by the front tire.

It should stick to a metal frame as long as its cleaned. But not sure what you're going to stick on the other side will hold.

The directions tell you not to get any on metal. I'd use rubbing or polishing compound, depending on how bad the markings are.

It depends on the surface. If it's plastic, it sticks very well, but it doesn't stick at all on my leather dashboard.

Yes, it should hold up just fine and look really good. You should prep the surface by sanding it down and removing the old coating as best you can. Otherwise it might not adhere well to the metal.

Wood most likely not because although it stuck to fiberglass pieces on my jeep after a recent hail stop a lot of it chipped and flaked off. Metal it sticks great and tough. There may be a primer out there that would help it adhere to the fiberglass better. All I did on my fiberglass pieces was scuff them up with 120 grit sand paper. Hope this helps

I have only used the suction cup on the windshield, and it adheres very well. I would expect that it would not adhere as well to other surfaces.

I've never seen it damage a surface, although I suppose it could, since it contains distillates (like toluene?) that might dissolve some materials. More importantly, this stuff is VERY sticky, so on a rough surface you would never be able to completely remove it. For that matter once it gets a good grip, it's about impossible to pull apart anyway. For example, I glued just the red plastic cover from a small reflector (with no backing) to the rear of the seat post on my bike -- just for fun, and extra safety. I put one blob on each side where the reflector touched the post, and masking taped the reflector in place till the glue dried. Years later when I replaced the seat and had to pull off the reflector, first it hadn't fallen off in the meantime, and second it was nearly impossible to get loose, then I had to work at remaining blobs of glue, stuck to chromed steel, with needle nose pliers, to yank them off the metal.

I've been using super glue specifically for metals that works great even on uneven surfaces. It's just the metal version of the cheap stuff, nothing really fancy

I used it on metal and it worked great. Not sure about rubber, but it is so sticky I would think it should be fine .

that's really interesting. I've used this paint on wood, metal, glass, resin and plaster. Never had any issue of anything being sticky.

Any brush will do. But not the sponge ones. It will adhere to metal. First, give it a good clean. Of course. Good luck

I did not use this on a bike. I did spray it on a metal pole and I may have not done it right but it was not reflective for me.

I only applied it on painted metal surfaces, I have no idea if it will stick on rubber, is a different material and personally I don't think this was the original intention. I would rather apply it on glass (like fog lights or even headlights) but rubber? As for application of heat to shrink, it was necessary for the painted metal application as it's quite flexible. For the paint I can tell you that I applied it one year ago and is still looking like the first day, invisible already from 2-3 feet away.

Thank you for your inquiry. This particular one is more for porous surfaces. Most metal isn't porous so this may have an issue bonding. The only glue we have specifically for metal is the Metal Projects Repair Adhesive. (LN-203) you may want to try that first.

If its brushed stainless I don't know how well it will clean it. But on smooth metals it is a great cleaner,polish. I have tried numerous different metal polishes on my motorcycle,and this is the best I've used so far.
