KZ1000 side covers?
24 Oct 2006 08:56
So I want to refurbish my side covers...they have a couple small cracks around the screw holes. Should I patch with fiber glass? Where might I find fiber glass?
Also, I turned my 78 police bike into a hard tail, so if anyone wants a pair of rear shocks in great condition let me know.

If you have original side covers, they are probably ABS plastic. Don't use fiberglass. What I use for minor repairs on ABS plastics on my bikes is JB Weld. Drys in about a day and is sandable.
Others on this site will recommend other products.

Seconded on the JB. Applied right, the ABS will break before the JB does.
JB is very sandable, but for cosmetic non-structural surfacing on the exposed side, plain ole bondo works fine on raw ABS.
