    Gorilla Glue (polyurethane) is good for lots of things - dunno about bike plastics though - they seem to be in a class of their own for unrepairability.
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
    those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.

    depends what you are glueing.. i use Automotive trim tape quite a bit (3M)

    You could try a 2 part amrine glue that will dissolve the plastic slightly then fuse it together, I reattached the rear guard on my dirt bike and I would say it was stronger than the actuakl guard.

    sikaflex. goes on like silicone, sets like rubber. sticks like shit to a blanket.
    used to glue car winscreens in. awesome stuff. only good for permanent fixing, you have to cut the stuff to get it off. highly recomended for anything that rattles/vibrates badly... { harley owners swear by the stuff.}
    depends on what you are glueing though, some times its cheaper to get things fixed properley once than to fix the same thing 20 times.

    Plastic Weld

    Don't bother to glue your plastic. Get the right plastic rod (ABS for "Roxanne") and plastic weld it with a soldering iron (I weld from both sides and try to make sure that I have melted right through the crack). Piece of cake and as good as new. I have rebuilt totally missing pieces this way
