Ever have a cracked luggage bag or fairing or other plastic you want repaired, but hate the thought of fooling with fiberglass or bondo, I read this awhile ago on another forum, thought I'd share . A fellow bike enthusiast once wrote; that you can use superglue, dusted with baking soda to build up broken ABS plastic! I know it sounds strange, but it actually worked! One drop of glue at a time, each one dusted with baking soda, built up a nice, hard lump. The next day, after curing, your to grind and sand it to shape, and its actually strong enough.
