    Plastic welding in Wgtn?

    Can anyone recommend who/where to get cracks in fairings repaired in the Wgtn area? (Not for me you understand......someone I know...)

    You could always pick up one of the plastic welding kits and give it a go yourself.

    Perhaps it would be worth giving a few bike shops a call and see what they recommend.

    May the road rise up to meet you.
    May the wind be always at your back.
    May the sun shine warm upon your face.

    I used All Bumper Repairs Kilbirnie in 2001 to put my VTR1000 side fairings back together again. Reasonable cost at $250 back then. As said above, they don't do the paint job.
