teazer said:That's a nasty crack. I found teh best way for that sort of extensive repair is to plastic weld it. I bough a cheap plastic welder which is like a small heat gun with very small nozzle and a compressed air supply. I use my air compressor and dial down the delivery pressure. Resin and glue work but not as well as welding. I had an FZR400 fairing missing most of one top "ear" and rebuilt it out of sections scavenged from a Kawasaki tail section that had sections with the same curvature, but that was quite an assembly job.
Yours should be weldable.

For something that size, I'd be grabbing the G/flex (the West System stuff I used on the Van Van). Its well worth the buy in price and it has some good flex once fully cured, which is why I like it for plastics. It's designed to adhere to and repair plastics.
