Greying Posted August 20, 2006 Share #2 Posted August 20, 2006 I used it and if you follow instructions, it works really good. I repaired the fairing on my Venture Royale almost two years ago and it has about 25000km on it since and still holding up. I also did other repairs for different folks and they are holding up good. In my opinion, it is worth the cost but you do need patience,steady hands and beer. Oh yea good ventilation too!!! Gilles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbon_One Posted December 4, 2006 Share #3 Posted December 4, 2006 What size kits are you guys buying? Small, standard, master? I know it depends on the amount of work one has to do but I'm thinking of getting a kit to have 'on hand' for those smaller emergencies.

fixit3546 Posted December 5, 2006 Author Share #4 Posted December 5, 2006 I had the small "Black" kit. It did a lot more than i had expected it to. The stuff seems to be very durable and fairly easy to work with once you figure it out (Easy on the solvent). I let my bike fall over an the trailer a while back and broke my fairing pretty bad, but what i didn't expect to see was a repair thay only split part of the way through the repair. it's the second pict. The new split ran from the signal light opening about half way to the shoulder. Other breaks on each side of it. I have put a couple of hundred miles on it since i damaged it and it still hasen't broken all the way through. I'd say that speaks well for the stuff.
