HELP plse fitting S3 stainless legshield trim

[Dobo]

Hi guys, without too much fore thought I purchased some legshield trims. On receipt I realised that fitting was not going to be that straightforward!? I removed the legshield rubber edge beading and offered up the stainless trim . . . no that isn't going to be easy! There has to be a trick or two to aid fitting, so those who have done it PLEASE, please your advise will be much appreciated. Thanks in anticipation. Ian.

I put some double leg shield trim on my s2 Paul at scooter restorations gave me a old pair of leggys to fit and get the shape you can put cling film round the leggys fit the top get a mate to help you he holds top while u slowly push it on all the wAy down then pull bling film out or you can cover on grease hope this helps but it is a b..stard of a job

I thought you had to cut the lip off your legshields to make stainless trim fit

[Jazzy b]

I've heard that but dident need to with mine

No don't cut the lip off as you will never be able to go back to rubber trim. I used cling film and lots of grease on my S1, horrible job but have patience and you will get there. One side went on easily for me but the other side was a right pig,

OK thanks for the info so far guys. There seems to be some consistency with 'clingfilm' and grease . . . but what's this 'leggys' mentioned by you Jaz? Is that some old rubber edging or what? All HELP appreciated. Ian.

you will if you bought vietnamese stainless trim for sure, and then your legshields are ruined.
