Default Need help repairing my upper fairing

Does anyone know of a good cheap product I can used to repair my upper fairing? My upper fairing is broken into 3 peices as a result of an accident. I just examined it, the breaks look pretty clean and they would peice together just fine. Is there sealant, glue, etc. out there that I can use for this type of repair? LMK, thanks.

You might be able to pickup fiberglass and fiberglass resin to hold and stiffen it form the back. Then use body filler on the front.

Theres a glue you can buy from your local automotive paint store. I think the name is fushen?...they will be able to tell you. Body shops use it for bumper repair.

All you need to do is grind the backside of the fairing in a v-shape and glue it. It dries in a few seconds...you have to work fast.
