Fixing cracked side panels

(1/3) > >>

Grewth:
Can anyone tell me exactly what plastic the original Honda side panels were made from, and what will stick to them properly  ?
I've managed to find a pair with paintwork to match my K4 tank .
The trouble is that both have hairline cracks here and there.
I'm thinking that if I don't reinforce them on the inside somehow,  they're going to disintegrate if I start using them on the road.

Johnny4428:
I repaired both side panels for my 550 that was imported from the states just to keep originality. But I should never have wasted my time as I dropped one and it shattered. Seemed to be very brittle, maybe depends what exposure it’s had. Replacements are of strong material, seem to be good. Good luck!

Bryanj:
Fiberglass woven mat and epoxy resin but it will make them heavy, LPM do excellant repos but not sure if they sell direct any more

Murf:
What about Aluminium foil tape, the stuff I have has very strong waterproof adhesive on it and is quite strong. I think the roll I  have was from RS but screwfix etc stock it. I see there is also some insulated types designed for wrapping exhaust headers.

neat street:
As Bryan says,and what I have done was woven fiberglass, you dont need much to do a good repair, and they are not much heavier.
