I have used the windshield urethane ( the black stuff used to hold windshields in vehicles with) to attach emblems and trim to bikes and vehicles. It comes in tape or tube, I use the tape(cleaner) I holds indefinitely, can be removed by applying heat with a hair dryer to soften it with. the stock tank emblems on my Drifter were held on with that. It is available in any auto-body supply store, or a body shop might sell you the amount you need. Make sure to remove any waxes from the paint before using.

...stop in at an auto paint store.  They shuold be able to help you out....

...or any good auto parts store would have what you need as well.  I would stick with a name brand product, like previously suggested - Dow Corning and 3M are both good products, and Permatex is good as well.

Dow Corning silicone will work.  Also 3M has a ton of automotive body caulk/adhesives designed for this pupose.  Suggest you stop in at an auto paint store.  They shuold be able to help you out.

  I know I have a huge roll of body molding tape left over from when our body shop closed down, and it hold all them plates and stuff to a truck/car, but it might take the paint off later. Silicone will work too but you are correct it needs to be the correct one. I aslo have shafting expoy for golf clubs that I know would hold, albeit will remove the paint too.
