Not sure what you mean by Smc. Ideally, if fairing's are fibreglass best would be fibreglass. Fibreglass repair is not a permanent solution for plastic fairings. But they can last a fair amount of time.
Part 2 has been delayed for some time as my son has had the bike. I now have the bike home and can give an update on how it has held up. Keep an eye out.
@@boofheadbuilds7294 thanks - acetone, that sounds powerful, now i know i won't have to chuck the brush i hope you take care over your health, thanks for the reply.
@@boofheadbuilds7294 thanks again, good to hear - this is new stuff to me, thought i had bought a decent bike but as i used it i could hear creaking and banging sometimes - not mechanical, it was the fairings, damaged underneath, lugs missing and cracks - guess the bike has been over at some point. british roads are full of potholes these days.
@@iandouglas451 no problem at all, its a good place to start and not super expensive on these small scale repairs, but keep in mind it is a temp fix, other options would be Plastic welding or replacement fairings.
Not as of yet. Need to scuff up the plastic really well. Give the fibreglass a rough surface to bond too. It won't last forever I know. But it last a while.
I appreciate the time into putting these instructional videos thankyou
You are very welcome
Great vid! I’ve gotta do a bit of fairing work myself; great way to see it all get done
Inventive use of materials - good job - thank you for sharing!
Thank you.
Masterful. Part 2 plz.
Part 2 is coming soon,
"Great job! I also own the same bike, and it needs the same repairs."
The repairs have held up well.
SMC vs Fiberglass resin? Which is better for fairing on my motorcycle?

what happend to part 2 was looking forward too seing the results

hello, what is the light brown material you used to create the missing parts?
Regular automotive putty/body filler/bog
very useful to me - is that resin brush useless now or is there some type of thinner to clean the paintbrush please?
I use acetone to clean up. Good solid, clean, and can use multiple times.

@@iandouglas451 it is the common solvent for Resins both polyester and epoxy, and yes, always work in well ventilated areas, and wear appropriate PPE,

I don't think fiberglass resin sticks too good to plastic. I'm thinking it will peel off. Have you had a problem with that?
Not as of yet. Need to scuff up the plastic really well. Give the fibreglass a rough surface to bond too. It won't last forever I know. But it last a while.
Do you have part 2 I couldn’t find it
part 2 is currently in progress.
@@boofheadbuilds7294 did you finish it i really curious how it turned out and how well its holding up
Not finished yet. Had a lot going on. And need space to work on it. I will get there.
