My fairing issues and plastic polishing!

[bungbung]

JB Weld is steel reinforced epoxy. It's pretty much powdered metal in araldite.
Google "steel reinforced epoxy" for other manufacturers.

It is available in a putty version as well. (Like knead-it + steel powder)

oooooh, that makes sense then :-D didnt realise there were two versions.

I've fixed my fairing with fiberglass and resin. After my bike got dropped the fairing broke at the same places again. I've now welded the fairing instead of using glue or resin and it makes a much more stable impression.

Bugger all that rubbish. If it's a fibreglass fairing, then glass it. If it's plastic, then plastic weld it. JB weld/araldite/super glue, none of those will do the job correctly... it'll break at the same place again eventually. You're better off just leaving it alone if you're going to nigger it up.

So Ewen , did you get it sorted that fairing ?

If Yes , how , as i may need it for my future faired bike...

if NO, have you called Reflections on the shore - I've heard they are pretty competent with the stuff you need done.

Right, my cracks got worse and it needs urgent attention.

Now from what I keep hearing, layering with sheets of fibre glass is the way to go.

Thing is, where do I get a fibre glass repair kit? I don't wanna pay over $30.00 for such a small job.

I heard they do it in Warehouse?

Anybody with any experience in this area please give me your suggestions!!!

Hang on, you've got a nice 8K bike there, and you don't wanna spend $30 to fix it properly? Get a clue.

I've got a friend who could weld that, fix it proper, touch the paint up and you'd never know it'd been fixed. Might cost ya 150 bucks. Small outlay for keeping your pride and joy looking mint I reckon.
