You know those mini indicator led types, well I snapped the stalk halfway in middle. Clean cut so tried to stick it back together.tried 2 part epoxy,superglue,qbond, all seem to work but when I take the bike or or a 30min roadtests, the stalk is back in half again. Road vibe,wind and all that probably. They cost £40 so would like to fix if i can. Anyone done this?

As a quick fix how about a jubilee clip with some black gaffer over the top......
Those are my principles...if you don't like them I have others.

You could grind an edge on both sides and fill with the qbond powder and sand it flat or just fire it in the bin :lol

Don't want to waste money binning working expensive leds
Anyway, resolved issue by creating a wooden dowl that is a tight fit inside the hollow stalk and covering it in epoxy resin then tapping it half way into the stalk attached to the fairing and then.tapping the led part over the other half the dowl Now stronger than before .

I was in two minds whether to ask you directly but erred on the side of caution to save a typically characteristic demeaning response
