tomephil Posted June 30, 2012 #1 Posted June 30, 2012 Hi, I'm on the, Ong way to the international and now have a problem ihave to deal with in regards to my front fairing windshield holes cracking. A few were cracked when I left but they seemed ok. I received a clearview windshield just before I left. I needed to retighen a few bolts 2 days ago and iused blue lock tight but the windshield started making noise again today. Whdni check ked I found other middle left inside hole badly spidered. I am on the road in Towanda Pennsylvania so I don't have a workshop to deal with this. As of now my plan is to find some aluminum screen material and a solderinggun,during iron and see if I can melt some sport into. Where the plastic is badly spidered. Does anyone have any better (workable) ideas?

mm482 Posted June 30, 2012 #6 Posted June 30, 2012 Plastic and lock tight do not go together. Lock tight destroys the plastic body parts. I hope you can get it all fixed up and back on the road. Earl

Earl Actually it's not the tab replacement I am concerned with. I have to repair the actual plastic in the outer fairing
MidnightSpook Posted June 30, 2012 #11 Posted June 30, 2012 Wow.....all of my tabs are broken, but I didn't know the faring would crack like that. I did put a strip of rubber between the clearview and inner faring to prevent the rattling.
