You can try a variety of things but one of the least intrusive things to do is to put a heavy bead of hot glue on the back side of the fairing. It won't show and is pretty easy to scrape off if needed at a later date.
Another thing to do is if you can find another faring of that color, it doesn't matter the kind or condition, you can turn that into fine shavings and melt it onto the crack. A good thing about this process if you find the donor piece is you can practice on it before you start working on the real thing.

Ok quick update. Used JB weld to at least get the pieces together, and get it back on my bike. It’s holding so far. Maybe I’ll throw a decal over it in the meantime.
I didn’t realize It’s so difficult to order replacement fairings. I’m kinda new to the motorcycle world riding wise, but i didn’t anticipate it being so hard to find replacement fairings.
with bikes getting scratched all the time I wonder where or who everyone uses to get their fairings replaced.
anyway thanks again everyone, I’m still on a quest to get the tail piece replaced or maybe go with a whole new kit all together.
Any suggestions on aftermarket fairing websites would certainly be appreciated.
thanks!
