Hi fellow Buelligans, I picked up a beat too Hell S3 fairing that has a few cracks. What is the best way/product to close them up??? Thanks BILL | ||

Bill, I have an S3 fairing that is cracked in about four places. It does not look like they are all the way through the plastic. It is so bad that I can not sell it to anyone and feel good about it. I was thinking about repairing it and my thought is this. It does not appear to flex that much that I can tell. In fact it seems to be very rigid. I was thinking of just using bondo since the cracks do not go through and it seems to not flex that much. Saying that reminds me of watching a slow motion video of a helicopter blade and how much it moved. It is the reason you put your head down. I never approached a helicopter the same again... What I am trying to say is maybe it does flex some when riding, I don't know. I was hoping someone would answer you question. I wonder if something like this would work? http://www.sjdiscounttools.com/tsl3310.html Frank | ||

Wouldn't fiberglass give about the right workability and potential for flex? | ||

West Epoxy makes a product for plastics called G-Flex. It is used to repair plastic kayaks and kid's toys. Get more information from West Epoxy. | ||

I was thinking the plastic bumper repair stuff but I thought it may flex to much and cause paint problems. I have POR15 fiberglass bondo but I wasn't sure it would get a good bite on the Buell material. By the way, WHAT IS THE BUELL MATERIAL???? |
