Is there any way to fix cracked or broken ferrings? I am wondering if anyone knows of PRODUCTS or COMPANIES that sell something to hold the plastic together?

Like a bondo, but strong enough to work on motorcycle ferrings?

Some one has got to sell this.

thanx for your help.

 

some other guys will list some products they have used befor on there bikes im just not sure of the names.

I myself use a soldering gun and just melt the crack back together on both sides and bondo over the "minty side". If your still not able to get a solid connection for the crack get it as best you can to hold it in the right shape and then just lay a layer of Fiberglass resin/matt on the backside of the plastic and bondo over the good side and that will fix any crack.. hole... missing chunk you name it.

 

Not worth it brotha, get on Ebay and see what you can find. Sh*t I found an entire mint body for my CBR for 1600, good luck

 

Ditto, ive seen some fiber glass jobs done by some local twisty riders. Not to bad.

 

i just installed a bar on this guys 750 and i called him to say i didnt want to cut up a brand new tail section. then he told me its been wrecked about ten times and it was all done with the fiberglass and bondo......looked brand new. probly cost about $50.


think about it 1600 off ebay....or $50

 

exactly, my bike was very minty with its fresh paint and all when i bought it. After takin off plastics and lookin at the backside of them i seen there were fiberglass patches here and there where it had been repaired. Looked good as new and i had no idea it was even repaired.

Everyone should learn to fiberglass you can do ANYTHING with that stuff its time consuming but very strong stuff.

 

hobby shops sell plastic filler material to use with a soldering gun to weld it back together. autozone and advance auto sell a 2 part epoxy called plastic weld that works awesome.

my tail section was broken completely in half, i used the epoxy with fiberglass tape that you use for patching holes in walls, cant even tell from the outside.

 

zipties :YEAH

 

zipties fer stuntin....


epoxy and carbon fider or fiberglass for pretty bikes

 

You can fix ANYTHING with zipties, duct tape, lots of swearing, and a hammer.

 

/\ very true....my last upper was held together by zipties!!!!! Now I have a street/race carbon fiber upper from www.archangelcomposites.com, took forever to get, but have beat the hell outta it and it holds up good.....eliminated front turn siganlas too....no place to mount them, looks slick....was about 325 with shipping

 

dry wall tape and bondo on the inside bondo on the outside worked great on the narrow part of an 01 R1 upper fairing for me

 

i was looking on www.thestuntfactory.com and there are pre drilled plastic kits that matches oe specs for around 600-700 bucks. im not very handy so i was considering picking up a xtra set to trash and save my orig stuff.
