Plastic welding needed - fordlatch41 - 11-10-17
Hi I am new on here, but I have done a few bikes up in my time and love to tinker. I purchased a 2001 fzs600 last week on EBay for £650 as a winter bike, it's just a bit tarnished and dirty mainly but the engine is mint and runs sweetly, so are the forks tyres etc and generally no rust anywhere but it has been down the road and has a chunk missing out of the fairing.
Do any of you reccomend any product that will glue a piece of plastic back in, or does anyone know which type of plastic to use so I could have a go at plastic welding,
Cheers Steve

I've followed this chap's plastic welding plan in the past:

Pretty straight forward, soldering iron, staples and cable tie job. Certainly functional, but not aesthetically pleasing. Fine for an out of sight mounting lug mind. However, if you have the piece of fairing handy, or its just a crack, you may be able to use this technique to seal the piece together from inside and leave only a fine hair line on show. Either way, probably a better plan than glueing.
Depending on how much you want to throw at the project, do note a brand new fairing can be had fully painted from Yamaha or Fowlers for £200 ish.

Someone buy that man a soldering iron holder.
I had the audio off watching that, but all i could imagine hearing was fire alarms ringing at work. :lol
Simple, but clever fix though. :thumbup

Well the wonder of eBay lead me to buying a red fairing from an earlier model and I have to say it's a belter also doesn't look out of place due to the black/silver 'fazer' graphics on each side, but I will percivere in trying to fix my original fairing which will be a lot of work and lots of melted cable ties.
