    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

It was -30 Celcius yesterday when I tried to remove the side covers from my 80 gs1100. The rubber grommet that holds the tab on the right side cover was so stiff that it broke the tab off. Is there any way that Crazy glue or maybe Jb Weld might make a permanent repair or should I rebuild it using one of the methods here. Maybe I should just look for another side cover?

Thought?
 
Haven't done it myself but consensus is that the best repair is ABS and acetone mixed into a slurry and then applied to the affected parts. Search the forum for side cover repair, you will find lots of threads. And then get some new grommets. :)
 
Devcon Plastic Welder. Its a two part epoxy style adhesive that bonds like noones business and wont let loose. put the piece back in line with the crack after applying the glue and maybe a little on the outer perimeter to act as a reinforcement. Let it cure over night and you should be all set.
 
I try to lay a piece of fibreglass or carbon fibre woven cloth reinforcement over a repair to plastic parts embedded in a layer of the same epoxy used on the face of the break.
