      those dont look bad, Did you just brake the tabs?

      If so look into gettin a plastic repair kit. You could always send them out to be fixed but IMHO not worth the $$$$$$.

          Harbor Freight sell tools for "welding" plastic. Auto stores have fiberglass kits for around $15.00.

            how much patience do you have to do this kind of work yourself? have you ever done any kind of work like this before?

            i had similar damage on my fairings that i was able to sand out and repair. i am re-painting my bike though. so i am not trying to color-match.

            the broken lower corner on your main fairing will be trickier. You will probably need to cut a piece of fiberglass to the approx size and then use that plastic welder stuff from any auto store to cement it into place. I would look at the fairing on the other side to see how complex a piece you'll have to fabricate.

              IMHO.... throw it away and buy better ones.

                      That was my private link. I don't need anything so I thought I'd share it. My next project is making my rear cowl.
