Best fairing repair glue?

Hi, after some very helpful advice and some "interesting" advice, here goes:

Does anyone have any suggestions or experiences with any of the plastic
fairing repair kits and/or glues out there? I have a 2" crack on a lower
fairing (hit and run in a car park) which I suspect is going to get worse.

 

A soldering iron and some cable ties.

Do a search for something like "plastic weld soldering iron" and you
should get plenty of hints for how to do it.

 

In the past, I've used super glue and reinforced the crack with a
fibreglass patch on the inside, where it (usually) can't be seen, but
I'm sure plastic welding kits will do a better job.

 

I picked a random 2 part glue from Halfords (Loctite plastic glue I
think) and I've been very impressed. It's a fairing lug that has been
glued and it has a bit of stress on it (which broke the plastic weld
repair), but it's held up ok so far.

 

Not from personal experience but...

A popular method from the danish motorcycle newsgroup seems to be to
'dissolve' an appropriate number of Lego building blocks in acetone over a
couple of days fx. in a jam jar.

The gooey Lego's are applied to the fairing - and they apparantly return
to their original 'legolike' consistency once the acetone has evaporated.

A clever twist is that you get to choose from quite a number of different
colours..!

I have recently repaired some Fazer bits, fairing, side panels, all to
good effect. I'll get the trade name of the product I used tommorrow
and post it...

 

Sorry, today was kinda hectic... Have made a note and will post
details tommorrow...

 

Its called "FORCH. K151> 2K-SPEED." Plus you will need the gun and
nozzles, available from Brown Brothers 01865 337171... HTH...

 

Cheers for that. Might be getting some of that,,,
