    Can anyone help me with plastic repair?

    I had originally intended to send my plastics down to Mike (Collision Pro) but due to unforseen circumstances I am broke as a joke and can't afford to have the elite pro that Mike is do the work...

    Is there anyone who has some experience doing plastic repairs that could help me out? I can provide more beer than you can drink and my undying gratitude...

    I have the repair materials (or at least I think I do... 3 bondo fiberglass repair kits, fiberglass filler, 1 plastech repair kit) and I can bring the parts to wherever you are if you can help me out...


    Cheers,
    Chris

    But when we ride very fast motorcycles, we ride with immaculate sanity. We might abuse a substance here and there, but only when it's right. The final measure of any rider's skill is the inverse ratio of his preferred Traveling Speed to the number of bad scars on his body. It is that simple: If you ride fast and crash, you are a bad rider. If you go slow and crash, you are a bad rider. And if you are a bad rider, you should not ride motorcycles.

    can't tell from the pics... are there supposed to be mounting holes/brackets where the chunks are missing?

    that could certainly complicate things.

    The only "intuitive" interface is the nipple.

    Yup, those are mounting holes there... Luckily the mounting holes aren't for mounting the fairing to the bike but rather for mounting the lower fairing peices to the upper... If I have to I'll glue the two fairings together

    But theoretically if I can repair the hole, I should be able to repair that section the same way and drill holes through the repair for the mounting holes... Its not a mounting that has to support any weight which is good...
