plastic repair

[oz353]

just a thought.....

Im in need of a really good plastic repair person.  i have an original gs500e headlight fairing with damage. i am wondering what it would cost to have someone fix it for me. not sure of my ability to repair it properly. also would anyone know where to get a replacement windscreen for it?

Do it yourself!  Learn and post lots of pictures!  We believe in you!  I'd love to do it for you but I have too much crap to do already otherwise I'd volunteer.  I always buy grand canyon sized cracked body work and fix it for projects.  Much more fun that way.

It looks like fiber glass not plastic.

Belly pans and cowlings were fiberglass. Full fairings went plastic.
Eastwood and even homor despot and others have fiberglass repair kits.
Use a kit. Also go over the mounting holes (redrill a new hole after repaired and strengthened).
Lots of sanding.

FYI: You can get a Skidmarx cowling from the UK for somewhere around $150. Junior's is actually a used Skidmarx that I painted. They look nearly identical to the OEM except the mountings are in a different place.
