Wow that is amazing work man. Doesn't look like there was any damage to it at all.

I just bought some of the plastic weld also. I have a similar problem on my windscreen bolt holes. the tab is completely gone, so I had to make a brand new one out of an old fairing. How is the plastic weld holing up on the end of the windscreen. I tried some other stuff, and it broke right off.

What kind of tool did you guys use to apply? I find the stuff to be a bit thick. Did you thin it out and brush it on maybe?

PluS - The stuff smells strong- Use in well ventilated area!

used a razor to apply but and straight edge will work well in smoothing it out. Yeah i have a painters mask that i wore cause it smells awful, and im sure the fumes arent good for you

I cracked some tabs on my headlights (2005 600rr) and they are loose, the top ones are in place but most of the rest are cracked how can I use the product to keep them in place without damaging the front Fairing, or is that inevitable? Will there ever be a time where I will need to remove my headlights and they are stuck in and I'm just screwed? Where can I get the stuff?
