Title: Fairing repair shop in So Cal?
Post by: coreyoreo on January 06, 2013, 03:25:23 PM
Need to repair/replace the 2 fairing mounting tabs directly behind the turn signal indicators on my '89.

Anyone know of a reliable shop in southern California that can do this?

Thanks for any help!

I do all of the ABS repair for Off Vintage Motorcycle off of Ave H and 70th St W.

But if you want to bypass the shop I'm in Rosamond by the 14.

Corey,

You should be able to do this yourself and is not too difficult. Get some plastic weld, dis assemble the turn signals and glue the tabs back on. I used metal banding to help support it and it worked great. Other than that, I have no one here in San Diego that does that.

Hope it helped,

CraigO

Thanks, CraigO for the help. I thot about doing it myself but the tabs are pretty much disintegrated to the point that welding the miniscule pieces back on would just look like a glob of plastic, & I'm not that experienced at this kind of repair yet.

But I definitely will invest in a plastic welding kit soon...
Again, appreciate the help.

Corey,

Then you should take the Monkey up on his offer. He knows his stuff.
