Guys!!
I have been fixing my 87 Cane, and tried to use "bimper repaire kit" that you can easily purchase from any kind of aouto part shop. IT IS WORKING!! It still have flexibility after completly dry. You can sand itand use as filler or adhesive. I don't know how strong it is, but please see some pictures that I applied it to some cracks and a seperated part on the upper cowl.

For above pictures,
Top: You can pick this almost everywhere. I got this from Wal-Mart.
Middle: Left side. There was a crack the length about 5 in. This is after second coat.
Bottom: Top cowling. Actually both side of this part is seperated right side is already hardened.

This bumper repair comes with some mesh. You can use the mesh for reinforcement.

I used the plastic doctor in GA I believe. Did a nice job fixing a few cracks, and prepped for paint. Then they sent the panel off to the painter. I rcvd it ready to put the 1000 decal on and bolt on. Pricey but nice work.

Looks like fiberglass, just a cloth and epoxy. That would be pretty sweet!

Has anyone used this. I have seen it for years (love me somw harbor freight.) Anyhow just wondering. By the way finally got the bike inspected and tagged. She sat for years before I got her. Waiting for petcock. By the way whoever recommended hondapartsdirect ( http://hondapartsdirect.reachlocal.net/default.asp ) Thank you, Thank you, saw it in another thred and saved $20. They are much cheaper than my former favorite.Woohoo street legal just in time for winter. Still very rideable in Texas.

The "Bumper Repair Kit" that I introduced above is working great. Different from other epoxy fillings, this one is still flexible after completely hardened. I applied fiber cloth and this for the top cowring's separated parts. I am thinking send the parts (top and the both side cowring) to pait shop and paint in the original color. Does someone know where the original "1000" decals can be obtained?
