Fibreglasss matting from halfords.

You cut it into bitesize chunks, soak it in this stuff, and it sets rock solid.

I repaired large cracks in my TZR fairing with it.

the cheap and easy way, Is the way I did mine.

Get a plastic coat hanger and a soldering iron.

Take the pannel off and "weld" it from behind. Strong enough, That way you can "If needed" fill the crack in with a bit of filler and respray, OR you could just leave it if the crack is neat enough.

If it's a yellow RHS fairing, I'll sell you a new one. Mr. Green
