Araldite is absolutely useless on fairing plastics. I use a couple of different ones but these are 2 part adhesives and require special mixing tools, these are ones I use the most: SOL X 'MM' & PU are both good as is TEROSON (TEROKAL I think it's called) also do a good adhesive. As these are specialist adhesives they are not that easy to obtain if you are not within the motortrade.
 
Another good adhesive which you should be able to source from any decent bodyshop supplies is 'Q' Bond.
 
If you are within the North West drop me a P.M as I maybe able to assist you in your plastic repair.

Bear in mind that if you order the TEROSON adhesive you will also need the mixing nozzles & applicating gun. These can be a little pricey if it is for a 'ONE OFF' repair as the nozzles are £2 pound each and come in packs of twelve (they are one use only too, and the stuff goes off very quickly this time of year), the applicator is around £30 aswell.
As I said if you are within the North West drop me a P.M and I should be able to help you with your repair.

Hi The last time I glued anything plastic on a bike I used one of the adhesives that the builders use for guttering etc. Cant give you a trade name though.  Best of luck.
