Repair handlebar fairings

The tabs in the plastic that hold the screws in my handlebar fairing tore off. I tried to botch repair with some tie wraps. But the while thing now rattles at every bump. Any tips on repairing the plastic or brilliant ideas on fastening it? Much obliged!

The same thing happened to me, wear and tear over time.

I ordered new fairings but my 'dealer' did not have any oem screws available on order anymore. As it was The ones that did not fall into the depths of my bike lost forever were a loose fit in bringing the pieces together again.

I went to Home depot where they had the closest match, only slightly bigger screw and they worked really well and were shiny new looking. My only concern is the original oem screws were 'sawed off' at the end - and my new screws were a bit longer, just wanted to make sure the pointy ends were not going to cut anything as there are a lot of lines going through there.

Also this was definately going to make the screw housing a bit more worn so there is no return to oem screws after the new fit. Best of luck securing the farings/replacing.

also plastic 'puddy' jb weld product, has been mentioned on this site before, if you want to go there, I used the stuff to secure leds on my new givi box and have not got hit yet!

Please keep in mind there is a lot of movement going on with handlebars and possible stress so not sure how a repair vs replace would go.

FWIW, I went through this whole problem with the handlebar covers as mine had been abused in the past. In the end I ran out of ideas and replaced all three parts 'from new' over a short period of time.

If I've got it right, the screws which winged warrior is referring to are number 26 on this picture?



Part No. 93903-34380, they are 4 x 12.

If so, they are available from the UK.

correct, I was givin the impression Honda Canada does not have them anymore - and the ones I had were loose as it was.

They are on backorder and there would be postage costs, but the units themselves aren't expensive.

ABS can be welded with Acetone, clean up broken ends with brake cleaner then brush a drop of acetone on one part and press the other bit back in place, job done
