I'm counting on that! I'm sure it will be difficult finding people though.

Paul PM me your address, mine is already polished. I'll just mail it to you.
Thanks, that's a great offer Nathan. But save it for someone who could use it more than me. I really appreciate the offer though.

Your best bet is a plastic filler and repair kit similar to this. http://www.plastex.net/index.php?pr=Product_Info Thats just a random company I found but if you google fairing repair kit or plastic repair you can find those. It uses a chemical to melt similar plastic material and then it bonds to the original surface. It comes in rods or pellets, for filling voids I'd use the pellet kits. Make sure you get the right kind of plastic as you can buy ABS, polyethylene, and maybe a couple others. It won't work at all and will jack up your headlight if you get the wrong one. |

So almost 3 weeks ago when I was looking for coil brackets I sent Vengeance a pm because Nathan said they were working on them. I never got a response so I went forward with the eBay ones. Sunday I finally got a pm back from Vengeance saying they would be posting info about their brackets this week . Not sure why they could not have told me that a few weeks ago... |

Thanks guys for the coil bolt size. One last question. What about the factory fuel rails? I know you have a size posted for the aftermarket rails you are running but not sure if they will work with the factory? Sorry if this has been posted already but I didn't see it if it was.
Thanks again! |

I'm sure you know what my next question is...how can you tell what material it is? This is the black headlight bracket that you can see when you open the hood. It has a waffle pattern on top for strength, and has the word "TOP" on it. Is there some tests to tell what type of plastic? I would want to do this also with the stock radiator fan housing.

I spoke with Brandon from Casper electronic yesterday, he's going to be helping implement an idea that if I were to post, you guys think I'm crazy. Will definitly be a first. But it will be all documented here. Quote:
I got one for you, what about painting the wheel liner the same color as the shock towers? Making it blend in. Quote:

Honestly all I ever used was abs because that's what pretty much every fairing is made.of. I'm in the middle of moving this week and am doing all this from a smartphone. I don't have my bookmarks or anything to share. There's.a.glazing putty that also is best for plastics as it flexes and won't crack over time. It will give you a perfectly smooth finish. It may be a week until I can get the info but I will post it up when I can. The pellets can be bought in black or white to get the color close. The best place to get how to info is.searching for motorcycle fairing repair.
