broken mounting ear repair?

01-23-2015, 01:58 PM

My tail fairing has broken mounting ears, maybe just one for sure. A PO in the past has tried fixing the one i'm certain of with what looks like clear epoxy. Is there a better way of fixing it since the repair didn't hold, or should I just source one from ebay since i will be painting this bike anyway?

Have to see some pics to be sure, but it can probably be repaired. Search the forum for side cover or ABS repair threads, there are oodles of them.

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.
