Kinda searched around and didn't find anything specific. Layed my bike down in the school parking lot the other day (shoe string was caught around the shifter) and now I want to fix the little bit of rash.

I was told that bondo and the like wouldn't adhere properly to the plastic. So what do you all recommend I use, and any tips on doing the repair?

Thanks

I can't say anything about it... but this was recommended by another member. He was at a car show and they had a demo set up... might be worth checking into

slap a sticker of your fav brand over and ride ride ride!

 

has anyone tried the plastex stuff?

 

No idea. If it isnt bad just fix it the redneck way by slapping a huge sticker over it. It will save you some money. I would talk to someone at a body shop about repairing plastic like that and see what they use. I know some cars these days have plastic fenders. (my trans am did) Open the phone book and I bet for about 10 mins invested you will find a very good answer.

 

If it's bad you can usually find the parts you need in your color scheme on ebay...for a fair price. I know for my bike it's cheaper to replace than repair because the factory stickers are about $80 a piece!

 

Yea replacing would probably be cheaper and match/look alot better.

 

I've looked on ebay and the cheapest i can seem to find an undamaged side fairing is about $200 and up. I know that I can fix it for a lot less. I was planning on painting the whole bike anyhow so no stickers for me. Thinking gloss black with red tribals on the bottom, or a dark blue.

 

Quickest fix is the sticker method...but if the rash is too big...then go with the plastex.
