/diy/ - Do It Yourself

New thread, I'll ask again for the daytime boys. Trying to fix these missing chunks of ABS fairing. Any ideas, /diy/?

>I mean, have you called them?
For what, a 3D model of the fairing? I know they are pretty much the only manufacturer of aftermarket EX500R fairings. They are fiberglass however, as opposed to the OEM ABS. Cowl pieces is 200$ w/o shipping

>clay or putty form
This is a really good idea. I'd need to make it a bit bulkier and rougher than the actual needed pieces to make room for sanding etc. Alternatively I could just use the clay model as a mold for the ABS slurry method I discussed. Good ideas Anon.

>Honestly I'd just fibreglass them back on directly. CFRP even.
I have zero idea how I would accomplish that at all.

>The differences is just the ratio mixture of ABS and acetone.
Yea, that is most likely the method I am going to try. A popular fairing repair compound sold commercially is "plastifix" which is a solvent, essentially acetone, and powdered ABS.

>Unless you already know surfacing
Not even a little bit. But I've seen apps on peoples phones that can scan a surface and create a general model. Like I said it doesnt have to be just right, just close enough so I can sand it down and bond it.
>may as well just carbon fiber the original parts back on
You guys keep mentioning this, what the hell are you talking about?
