Thought I'd just share my fix for broken tab's.

J.B. Weld !!! Build up using several applications and file into shape.

See pix's of typical fix..

I used their regular J.B. Weld and it takes a little time to set.
J.B. Weld has a quick set that I didn't try. Should be a better choice.

Looks good. I just used "Velcro" & has been holding for over 10,000 miles.

I've used JB Weld before on side cover tabs on other bikes. It works fine and is still in use 15 years later. It can be filed or drilled, great stuff.

JB "Quick" is the stuff that is fun to work with. I had a friend that had a tab break of the fairing strip, we used doublesided tape.

Your fix looks good if it's flexible enough to install and remove a few times. You might have to break down and spend the $18 for a new one! LOL...

I like that fix. I hadn't thought of it.

Thanx

Plastic parts

Check me, guys. Is it a temperature thing with the plastics? Would you be more likely to break off tabs and such when the temperatures are colder? Like below freezing?
