    I've used that Plastex with great results on a old CBR panels. A little goes a long way...

    I just used this stuff to make a broken off tab that holds on my tail section and the mounting pad/hole for my fairing. This stuff is absolutely fantastic, wonderful, magic, super good stuff. I can't say enough. Just like it was new and as strong or stronger.

    Plastex - order from the US distributor!

    'Cause if you make the same mistake like I did and order from the Canadian distributor, the package will take FOREVER to arrive. I ordered from the Canadian web site on 3/31 and it STILL HASN'T ARRIVED! Go with the Las Vegas, NV Plastex (the manufacturer, I think) or Christmas might beat your order!

    I ordered mine from the guys up north,eh. Took may be two weeks max. They offered more of a selection in kit sizes than anyone else. Cause the other guys have to get it from up north anyways. My kit was $30. Plus what ever shipping was. It saved the pieces on my bike. I'm impressed with this stuff. Very easy to use,cures in a reasonable time, is strong as the original piece. Well worth the money IMHO. Lot cheaper than buying body parts and custom paint.
