I am "recommissioning" my stored 2004 R1150RT. Of course I had to remove the 1001 screws to get the fairings off. Ha ha. I knew the right side fairing was cracked. Now that I am going through the bike I will want to repair this. It is RIGHT Side fairing lower forward screw that attaches to the lower bottom fairing. 

 

I don't think some 5 min epoxy or J&B Weld will do the trick, well at least for a long time. I am thinking a few plies of fiberglass with epoxy resin? Vinyl Ester & Polyester Resins are options but believe one or both will eat plastic. The other is a thin sheet of aluminum (which I have) and bond or rivet onto the side fairing, using the broken piece as a filler? It is not a great place to repair. I have have poor luck repairing plastics. Some have said some plastic welding? Suggestions?
