    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

750ES fairing repair

I?m looking at an 83 ES that has some small fairing damage and am wondering what is used to repair it? Is it plastic or fiberglass?
 
Fiberglass and plastic don't mix. The fiberglass shrinks and expands differently and will eventually let go. If the fairing is ABS, then using simple 2-part plastic epoxy in the dual syringe type applicator available at any hardware store works great. It's basically the same material. Get the stuff that dries in 10 minutes. Clean and sand the affected areas with at least 80 grit sandpaper, even V out a break on both sides with a Dremel, and apply. It sands really well and blends in very nicely. Strong, easy repair that lasts forever. Plastic welding also works of course, but you have to buy the equipment. The epoxy is a good alternative...and, inexpensive, too.
