Repairing a small crack in the fairing

#1 Unread post by Marley »

My bike has a small crack in the fairing around the right blinker. It is maybe an inch long on the outside.

There is also a plastic casing that surrounds the blinker on the inside part of the fairing that is cracked. These cracks are connected.

What can I use to seal these cracks up? Any ideas?

Thanks

I would either glue or weld the plastic back together, then use bondo to fill the crack and repaint the area.

Five minute epoxy and a steady hand. Be sure to drill a hole through the plastic at the end of the crack to prevent it from spreading.
