heat + fiberglass?

[oldsoul]

Hi all

only been back into bikes for a few months and worked my way up to a pan iv’e dropped it already well laid it down (got me leg caught on the peg) it’s a ex mod police so had sirens and this is what cracked the fairing so my question is because it is very close to the engine if i fibreglass the inside will the heat crack the repair or is it better to use something ells

thanks colin that look good stuff but fibreglass is cheaper and am pretty sure ill have the f*cker down a few more times before it drops me, i was just concerned bout the heat

How close is the crack to the engine?? When fibre glass reaches a certain temp it will go soft and your repair wont last. If you can get your hands on a high temp resin then use that or if you know anyone that does plastic welding then even better.

I've had bellypans made of fibreglass, and one side touched the headers, and had no major problems, plastic welding will melt, its how its works.. i'd go with an internal fibreglass repair..

Quicksteel is heat resistant. And cold resistant. It's water proof. It sticks like excretia to bed linen. You can drill it , tap it, sand it and paint it. It's easy to use and goes off in a few minutes and costs about £6.

Apart from many bike and car applications, I have repaired plastic washing machine drums with it.

But hey, good luck with the messy resin and glass route.

And No I don't sell it
