I have a small crack in the rear fairing by the tail light.. I need to get some glue that will hold it together, does anyone know a glue that will hold that plastic together well?? Its not a "stress" area persay, but vibration does like to cause brittle glues to crack ya know??

I'm definately taking suggestions!! Thanks..

ANCHOR-TITE EPOXY SYSTEMS. IT COMES IN A DUAL SYRINGE AND ONE SIDE IS BLUE AND THE OTHER CLEAR. THERE ARE 3 OR 4 DIFFERENT TYPES. MAKE SURE YOU GET THE ONE THATS SAYS FLEXIBLE. I USE THIS STUFF AND SEEMS TO WORK EXCELLENT FOR ME.

The epoxy mentioned befor is the best thing I've found. On my 90' I have one of the front turn signal mounts welded together with that stuff and it has lasted for a long time.

The funny thing is, I think I have seen that stuff before... I'm gonna have to go and get myself a tube.. If its blue, then I will definately want to be careful and not let any oooze to the surface or it will show color! Not cool... I will have to becareful. How long does it take for the epoxy to cure??? Is it available at hardware stores, or motorcycle shops only?

I have tried flexible drying epoxy glue and seems to set pretty well - long term probably will depend on the stresses on the particular part you are applying the epoxy to. I have also discovered a website talking about abs cement which is supposed to work better like a weld.
