cracked fairing, how can i repair it?

dropped my bike today and the fairing cracked. whats the best way to bond it back together? would JB weld work? are these fairings made from ABS plastic or fiber glass?

 

Assuming the fairing is ABS plastic (this is usually stamped into the piece somewhere) then you can use Permatex Plastic Weld epoxy or Plastex repair. I've done a small amount of work with both with good results. The video below talks about the Plastex, and it is as easy to use as it appears.

thank you!

 

I have used Permatex Plastic Epoxy for many repairs, the Plastex solution looks very good also. JB weld stuff is runnier and not as strong.

 

x 2 for Plastex.

I use it A LOT

you can get it in different colours as well so it helps when you dont want to paint the repair area for only 1 crack.

Make sure to use a good metal tape on the front finished side of the fairing, v groove the back side and use the plastex. The metal tape will help prevent the plastex from bleeding through to the front side and should make the repair almost invisible on small repairs.

Your is a sizeable repair but Id still use plastex it works very well. Use in a well ventilated area though.

 

This worked for me, and is cheap. The package I got had some window screen type material to embed in the plastic to help it hold together.
You may want some scrap plastic from a broken fairing.

ended up fixing it with permatex plastic bonder and some drywall tape

 

Custom engineering.

 

Plastex for the pretty stuff but if you have broken lugs this might be worth reviewing...
