Go search, you'll be surprised.
What is wrong with the hot glue Heidi?
HELLO! Max and I used hot glue to 'pin' the inserts in and hold them then glued them with sikaflex because that has such a high temp rating. First time I really got the bike up to temp, I had bloody hot glue running down the fairings. Was a fiddly bastard to get off, but luckily didn't mark the fairing.
Soooo..... no hot glue gun is my tip!
Here you go, a bit of background on the inserts.

Steventh did a great writeup but the pics aren't there. Good info though.

There are a few threads talking about the different mesh, but the autoco boyracer stuff works.
Heidi, you should not use the kids version of the hot melt glue. Use the proper industrial stuff and you will have no problem.
The Sikaflex someone suggested is a sealant not a glue as such, and if it does not cure neutral, you migt find your mesh being corroded very quickly. Just a thought.
