So, this happened a few weeks back. Rode the bike to school and it got bumped into at some point. The bump put stress on the fairing, which we know is secured by this bolt on to the bracket coming off of the frame, and (especially with the washers I have on there) it cracked the fairing. Luckily I didn't lose the piece, and was able to super glue it to hold for now. But it won't last, and I can't match that paint even if I did make it last (IE fiberglass backing), so I was thinking I'd make a "cover plate" that went in the corner here, and make a matching one for the other side. Here's the pics of what happened, and what I'm thinking:
I'd like to make it go up and around the edge of the fairing as well, at least on the top edge, like this:
Anyone have any ideas? What could I work with that could be molded by hand, but still dry hard enough to have the bolt and washer hold it on, and not deteriorate with weather?
I've got a few ideas, but figured I'd see if anyone else had any. Maybe someone has done something like this on another bike at some point?
Thanks all,
Loren
