Hey everyone, I was just wondering what all you have used zip ties, duct tape, JB Weld, etc, etc for.

For me, zip ties hold my numbers on, and I JB Welded a crack on my 250R case.

My friend has a pair of Fox Formas(great boots) that he has had since he was 11. He now has to duct tape the heel to keep the boot from coming loose.

Zip ties hold my plastic on and together. On my 250X zip ties held my 250X in reverse...........

I've used zip-ties for about everything...I used to get made fun of for it. In an emegency, i've used zipties as a clutch pivot bolt, and ductape over the 30mm flywheel cover cap.

Use zip ties to stitch together cracked fenders. Drill a hole on either side of the crack and connect together with zip ties. I use small ties and space them about a quarter inch apart. My beater trv200 has been nicknamed "frankenquad" because of all the ties in the fenders. Not pretty but it works.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

The big, long zip-ties are fun to put around your friend's drive line on their car/truck. Make sure it's long enough to hit something as it goes around.

My buddy used a ring from his key chain to hold his steering linkage together on his Quadzilla. A bolt rattled out somewhere on the trail. He had an interesting ride home. The ring survived the whole way home, about five miles of rough trails.
