Repair cracked fender

bpdchief · 03-19-2012, 08:07 PM

The front fender on my GZ is cracked at the right front bolt and right front corner from previous owner dropping the bike. The front crack is a straight line crack about 1.5 inches long right in the curve. The bolt crack is wonderful - verticle crack about 1.5 inches, bi-lateral running from front hole halfway to back hole and about 2 inches toward the front.

1. What are these fenders made of?
2. Can I plastic weld it back together? Is there a patch of some kind?
3. Do I try to locate a replacement fender?

The missing bolt I can probably get from a shop.
