MAN OF BLUES:
polyethylene plastics have always been impossible to repair without heat welding... but a new adhesive has surfaced, and seems viable.....

Stasch:
Cool.  Thanks for posting this.

Someone needs to try this and report on how well it does . . . .

ginzburg:
Are the fairings on the Concours 14 made out of HDPE? I thought they were ABS but acetone doesn't seem to dissolve it.

Good question that. It would be nice to actually know what every part of the bike was made from. If someone does have extensive knowledge I'd love to see a sticky thread listing all the parts and materials.
I think the front fender is ABS as are the saddle bags and I suspect the rest of the fairing pieces. I'm pretty sure the rear fender is Polypropylene?  I'd also like to know what the sub frame is made of (4130 chrome moly? maybe?).
