any1 have had problems with their plastic coming apart? mine come apart (3 piece sux). i tried some plastic adhesive but didnt work (clear adhesive) ive found out that the yellow-ish plastic-weld works best but looks tacky...

Yup tabs on mine are broke also. They only split apart when I hit some hard bumps out on the roads, which around here is all over the place!

Yeah, mine are broken off too. Its kinduva mickey mouse fix, but I have one of those nets that hold stuff on the back, and it keeps it together some.

+1 for the messed up tail. I guess I could tape it or something but since I pull those panels frequently I just leave it alone. Fortunately on my bike it really doesnt show much...

That or a bungee cord is the best solution, so you can remove the panels easily when you need to get under the seat for your tool kit or battery or whatever.

Mine will pop off a little when I do over 140mph or land to hard on a wheelie. I get soooo pissed!

I don't actully have one im a little spoiled but we just did a engine swap on my friends 97 f3 and its runs and looks new however that stupid rear plastic sucks and pops apart, we just drilled a small hole and tie strapped the whole thing together the clip part is under the ferring so you can't even tell and its been like that now for 3months and havn't fallin part again since....i would suggest that =)
