WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT FAIRINGS?
 
So here is my story. I bought a new Front end fairings about a month ago. Long story short, my dumb ass wasn't paying attention and hit my headlight on a bumper. My clamps that hold the headlight broke on the inside of the fairing. No damage to the outside.

IS THERE ANY POSSIBILITY OF THAT BEING FIXED? I was told once you break those it's a done deal. Finito!! Is this true? I hope not. Will plastic wielding fix this. Let me know as soon as possible. I'm discouraged from riding like this. Scared to Wheelie and damage the headlight assembly.

naw get some plastic epoxy and fix it that way, i broke one of my upper fairing bolt stays and i epoxy'd that thing back on and was good to go. epoxy will basically turn to concrete when its dry so you wont have to worry about it breaking on you, well unless you hit it again. lol good luck

I think its stupid that Honda made those out of plastic. They should have mounted the headlight to the bike and not the front fairing. I took mine off because its getting repainted and just unscrewing the bolts, I snapped 1 of them with almost no force.

that's because you have super human strength like Lenny from "of mice and meng"...so you better be careful mang!

yea you can do yourself or even with ABS plastic AKA plumbers glue...it's good stuff, but epoxy would be better i think...
