Ouch. My bike fell over in the grass and cracked two screw hole tabs on the left wind wing. In the picture, the white marks are a reflection. But that is the left wing I am talking about.
The tabs do not actually support much weight or structure. The other 2 screws hold the wing in place but it will vibrate.
I am reading the plastic panels is ABS material and ABS glue might weld the tabs back. Others use some type of Epoxy. Any glue brand or techniques to repair these?
I am thinking of adding a metal L shape glued to the inner side panel as extra support to the original crack line.
I prefer to repair instead of replace the part at this point. Buying a new panel sends me to the paint shop for a bigger expense. It won’t be the last time I bump into something or scratch it up more. I am not ready yet for repainting my other scratches yet.
Thanks for your ideas.
