i dont have a video camera so i cant post a tutorial kelm...and u can use any piece of plastic pretty much..as long as its oem plastic from a motorcycle, its the same kinda plastic(u need the flat parts from a fairing), its melts together good...dremel with a router drill bit to cut plastic, (the cutting discs on a dremel melt plastic, so get a router looking bit) heat gun to bend the plastic after u got it cut to shape, soldering iron and some scrap pieces, melt them down togther inside and out, use 3m panel bond on the inside(laid dry wall meash tape on the epoxy b4 it dried), sand the outside down, then skim coat with bondo to clean up and finish it up
