I haven't used it (yet), but it looks good. I have repaired Honda sidecover pegs with "Plastic Welder". Auto parts stores usually carry it or another (identical) product called "Plastic Welding System". The Plastic Welder I've used won't work on polypropylene and a couple of others, but it works on most plastics.

We used to stock it at the shop, but.....it does lose its effectiveness if it sits on the shelf too long. Make sure you get some that hasn't sat on the shelf for more than about 3 months.....just to be sure.

Storing all glues like these in the fridge door helps to keep them from losing their strength.

I've just ordered a mini-master kit to try. I've got one old 1968 CL175 side cover that the tab is cracked on - that will make a pefect test platform. I've tried JB weld without success, it failed at the crack.

Thanks for posting.

Devcon Plastic Weld is really good crap for side cover tabs, and such, if you can find it. Should be available at most automotive outlets. JB Weld has its place, but plastic ain't it. Cheers.

ps. I'm off in the AM, on the mighty Strom, to Thompson Falls MT, to revisit the corner I crashed on this time last year. Then finish the ride that was suddenly ended for me a year ago. I do believe H2 Rick is coming again.
Double Cheers.
