    Peeps
    I just purchased a Honda CB500S with the half fairing. However someone has snapped the locating tabs that fit into the tank grommet and the side panel grommet. Is there a clever way fix some kind of fixing there to secure them they won't fall of but would vibrate. I have one of the snapped pinions can it be repaired.
    Joe.

    Nice! I could do with the same knowledge a I happened to be the one that broke a tab off one of my panels (I was distracted by a Squirrel).

    Thanks for sharing.

    Congratulations on your purchase, Joe, and good luck with the repairs. Please share a photo or two with us when you take a break from working on your new addition. :)

    Plastex is your friend, though not cheap. You can use it to stick parts together or form parts yourself. Available on eBay.
