Not the Real '89 VFR -a mild custom

Of all the jobs in restoring an old bike, I had never before tried repairing ABS plastic and was about to undertake a very fast learning curve.
I quickly decided after feeble attempts "hot welding" the stuff that I had a lot to learn, so went seeking knowledge from Mr Google
I found someone using MEK (Methyl Ethyl Ketone) a solvent, to fuse the material together and it seemed easy enough that even I could do it.
A great solution, for me anyway - and with a bit of practice I even became good at it, and would recomend the process to anyone of reasonable skill
The photos following don't show anything like all the reairs, but settle on a very badly damaged belly pan, which had both holes in it - burned through by the exhaust no less. And in other areas the pan was badly distorted, once more because it had been seriously overheated - don't ask me how?
No "prior photos were taken unfortunately, but first pic. shows the front already with new cutouts applied and a piece of 3mm ABS sheet fused and clamped
to the outside awaiting an overnight cure.
Photo two is the reveal next morning with a rough up by sanding, just to tidy things a bit - but look at that distortion on the right side of the pan.
Following are a couple of the finished product, all straightened out with a heat gun, sanded, small touch up areas with "plastic bog" and all painted
I think you can see the difference in the shape - shown by the reflections in the paintwork. I am suitably pleased with the outcome
Every panel on the bike was busted, broken or holes in it and some mounting fixtures completely gone. Most would have said "Find another bike or fairing set" but I just fixed it all, learning as I went.
Before painting a SS perforated sheet was applied behind the "new" vents to keep out stones and debis, and the vents may now aid cooling down under?
