Plastex & fairing repair project
|
Ok, so the P.O. dropped the bike totalled the left mirror, lower fairing and put a nice hole in the corner of the top fairing + a largish crack
The FZR fraternity said Plastex repair kit or buy another fairing well the lower I got done in F'glass but the upper no can find so plastex it is
A view of the inside showing the crack in all it's gory glory
Here you get a better look at the hole taped over
Here you get a better look at the finished item
Look Ma no holes !
Ok so what is all this about, well plastex is a binary (two part) plastic making/glueing/moulding system.
You cut a V shape where the cracks run with a Dremel type tool. You then put in a white powder and add drops of a clear VERY smelly liquid. This will dry in seconds into a solid that fills the crack & the v you cut, making a VERY strong union in about an hour but recommend 24 hours for total setting.
I bought mine from Repair products ltd. in the UK
