Plastic Repairs - ATV, Dirt Bike, Motorcycles (ABS Plastics)
I ride bikes and know as much as anyone that the plastics on your bikes and ATV are expensive to replace. I weld and repair plastics to help your ATV and bikes stay good looking machines.
If Interestested please check out my website and fill out the form on the contact page. While there check out some of the stuff that I have done recently. I will put pictures of your fairings on my website too if i do any work on them. I am located in Fort Worth Texas, if you can not get to fort worth package you plastics up (include all peices of the broken plastic) and UPS or FED Ex them. I will arrange shiping ( i.e give you the address) for you from my email. If quotes are needed and are unable to make it to fort worth I can give you a ball park quote if you send your digital photos to my email address.
My Web page is http://scottsplasticworks.viviti.com

Re: Plastic Repairs - ATV, Dirt Bike, Motorcycles (ABS Plastics)
Hey, I'm not in your area, but I have a little problem that maybe you can help me with. I have a suzuki quad sport, and my front fender broke from the bolt that keeps it from flapping around. I've tried all sorts of glues and adhesives to put it back together. What kinda pointers do you have to give me on that subject? What kinda glue would hold? I'm just lookin for a cheap but good fix. Thanks, I hope you can help.

Re: Plastic Repairs - ATV, Dirt Bike, Motorcycles (ABS Plastics)
Hey, A little hard without seeing the damage, but there is an epoxy that I use that you can get at Lowes or a home depot, called 7 minute epoxy. (don't let that fool you) it does set in 7 mins but i would at least give it a full day or 2 to fully cure. It is a two part epoxy that you have to mix, once fully cured it is hard even for a chisel to chip the stuff. Now you can create extra stength if you take your soldering irion (yes just any old soldering irion will do) and melt the plastic together first before applying the epoxy. When doing any of this though, make sure both parts of the plastic are clean, I use a dremel to clean the plastic edges first(use soapy water if you have to) before starting ANY mending process. If edges are not clean you will repair until you wear the skin of your hands. This is probablly THE most important thing to do before starting, especially as you said you have used other adhesives on it previously. I would try these things, and see how you go, otherwise i would find someone to weld them for you, I would offer but since you said you were not in my area, you may not want to send your plastics.
Let me know how go. Feel free to email me for any further questions Boomy3200@yahoo.com
