Hi All

I made a foolish error yesterday and cracked my topbox. In haste I parked my gts300 and rocked it back on the centre stand without checking what was behind... The topbox hit a power pole and now has a vertical crack about 10 cm long - see photo - I was thinking to use superglue to fix but would welcome other suggestions... Feel very foolish ...

Super glue won't hold over the long term. I use super glue for filling pin holes prior to painting. What you need is milliput epoxy. I use lots of different epoxy products but you need milliput. It's a putty not a liquid. You would kneed up a roll place some into the crack, the majority of it would go inside the case making a big strong reinforcing strip to support the broken plastic. That stuff even cleans up with water. I've used it to replace the infamous tabs that broke off my handlebar fairing, when I dropped it.

Go to milliput.com.
