I have a side cover on my 1100L that the tab is a 1/2" dowel, attached with Bondo. It has been that way for the last 34 years.

I imagine the putty would be especially useful for forming a tower to carve a new tab out of. For cracks, I use the plastic weld that comes in the twin tubes like 5 minute epoxy does. Scuff the area on the back side where its hidden, apply into the crack and make a patch on the back of the cover. Usually doesnt matter if a little gets on the side thats visible because its gonna need repainted anyway. I can attest that the two part stuff is as strong, and possibly stronger, than the original plastic is.MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)

NEVER SNEAK UP ON A SLEEPING DOG..NOT EVEN YOUR OWN.
I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.Comment
