I have done searches, I have looked for aftermarket kits, I have learned the process for painting, but I am not a very patient person I guess. Is there any one who can help me find new or replacement body work. I just purchased this bike yesterday morning. Looks like when the guy layed it down, it wasn't gentle. It seems to ride straight. Just want it to look respectable, not like I just picked it up off the side of the road. Thanks to all.

 

With the cracked body work I have, is it possible to fiberglass the insde of the panel to repair it. I am no body guy but i am not affraid to try. Will the plastic react with the fiberglass resin. Will it bond. The outside I am sure I can spot putty in the rough spots and re paint. Just a thought. I appreciate all opinions. Thanks

 

F/Glass will bond to the panels. Use glass cloth to strengthen it - not "chopped strand" glass.
Q-Bond, spot putty (ugh) or a mixture of epoxy and baby powder (don't laugh) will fill gaps nicely. Don't overfill with epoxy or you'll spend all week flatting it for paint.
Hope this helps.

 

Repairing plastics can be challanging. Check with your local body shops to find out what materials they use for repairing plastic bumpers. You can also look for a body shop supply place. There are adhesives that are made specifically for bonding to plastic and still be flexible.

 

Uh, ok, this is what I did... Like I said impatient. I glassed the back of each crack holding it in place on the front with duct tape. The glass goes about 2" out on each side of the crack. Most of the panel is still flexible as it was because of where the cracks ran. I removed all of the wax and dirt on the face side and they are now are drying with their first coat of the finishing putty. We'll see. If it gets me by till I can fit another bikes plastic or find enough OEM to replace it I'll be happy. This is my first big bike. WOO-HOO.
