Default Repairing fairings

How would one go about fixing a crack in the mid-fairing right next to my frame slider (it's about 2 inches long and it seems like you should be able to bondo it or something and then paint it...also, how to fix scrapes in the lower and tail fairings...I'm not sure if they make a filler that works better than something else. Any help would be great.

go to your local autobody supply store. They sell fillers specifically for plastic.

Remove fairing. Clean & roughen with course sandpaper, inside of fairing couple of inches on each side of crack. Tightly tape good side of fairing exactly in its original position (use duct tape or maybe that blue painters tape). Saturate both sides roughend crack (inside of fairing) with polyester resin. Apply fiberglass cloth over crack. Apply more resin. Let cure. Sand rough edges. Save all materials for the next crash & burn.
