Best glue/adhesive to fix motorbike/motorcycle fairings?

I need a super strong adhesive to fix a self-tapping plastic lug to a motorbike fairing. It doesnt have to transparent or tidy as it it is on the inside of the fairing out of sight but had to be super strong to screw into. Both materials are plastic.





Many thanksBest glue/adhesive to fix motorbike/motorcycle fairings?

Do what I did to mine when it cracked.





Buy yourself a hot melt glue gun and BLACK glue sticks - allow the gun to heat up and melt the glue - put the lug into place using a little of the glue to hold it - allow 5 mins to go hard and then use the glue all around the lug.





Then allow 5 more mins to harden and screw it back together - you can buy glue guns for about 拢5 and the sticks are about a 拢1. Have a hunt around these Warehouse places that are poppin up all over the place - they are usually about 拢3.99 in these places for a good one.





If you can't find the black glue sticks use the clear sticks.





AND - the glue gun is really useful to have as well - you'll use it for lots of other things,so it isn't a waste of money
GORILLA GLUE!!! On my old bike it would fix everything. I dont have that problem on my new bike though i would recommend checking it out http://www.xtrememinimotors.com just in case the gorilla glue doesnt work out?

It's an epoxy that is as hard as steel when it cures.


It's mainly used on damaged engine cases.

yeah, gorilla glue - it's the bomb. I use it on everything; canoe, bike, shoes, automotive .....
I'd use a plastic repair kit, such as this one:

I have no connection with this company!
I use good old fibreglass matting.
gorilla glue is 1 route, but I'd go with a 2 part epoxy...
