[QUOTE="JohnnyQuest, post: 1465312, member: 92279"] An unfortunate accident occurred within the last couple of days, that has left me bummed out. No injuries, no other vehicle involved, no moving parts, except two hardbags falling from a shelf. I had stored a pair of panniers above my beautiful 05 FJR, on a shelf about two feet above the bike. I thought they were secure enough, but alas, not so. They both fell somehow and damaged both sides of the plastic surround panels below the fuel tank. Fortunately, no damage was done to the tank. I am just sick about it, the bike previously was nearly without flaw. The left panel was broken at the “fold over” line, about where your knee and thigh would sit against. My question is, has anybody had much success in repairing these panels, and if so, how did they go about it? I was thinking a fiberglass patch on the inside, and superglue to the actual inner faces of the crack, but perhaps there is a better way? If any in our community, would care to comment, I would appreciate your time and insight. [/QUOTE]
