December 14, 200718 yr I only put a new tail on my 06 Sherco 2 weeks ago, but I dropped her today and cracked one side. Not too big, but enough to annoy the heck out of me I know it's probably going to be "no"...but does anyone know how too glue or weld up a Sherco tail? Best of balance. Neo
December 14, 200718 yr Drill a number of small holes either side of the crack, apply some strong PVC glue and wire it all together. Should do the trick, cheaper than buying a new set of plastics!!!!!
December 14, 200718 yr There's a fairly new Co. that makes a glue specially for the type of plastic on mc/atv's , my brother has used it at his shop, seems to work very good, you can even use it to make/replace plastic mounting tabs ,or fill in missing piece, I'll try and get the contact info today.
December 14, 200718 yr Loctite make a 2 part super glue called "All Plastics". It is excellent if applied properly, if you take short cuts - it won't stick. You can get it from most big DIY stores.
December 16, 200718 yr Author It's called Plastix , www.Plastix.net Hi Toothandnail, Can you please confirm this address for me? Best of balance. Neo
December 17, 200718 yr Sorry I spelled it wrong it's www.plastex.net I checked ,it will connect you . We saw it last year at the" Indy Dealer Expo " they could fix anything with it, you know how those demo's go . However this one actually seems to work.
December 17, 200718 yr Author Many thanks toothandnail Just ordered some today. Best of balance and Merry Xmas Neo Edited December 17, 200718 yr by Neo
January 5, 200818 yr Author Bugger, bugger, bugger... It didn't work...it had no adhesive properties on the Sheco plastics what so ever .....I may have well been using water!!! I've got a GG airbox to fix....so I'm hoping it works better on their plastics. Any other suggestions gents? Best of balance. Neo
April 1, 200818 yr Author Just to let anyone know that 406 Loctitie did the job perfectly on my O6 Sherco Tail. There is another product call Q-Bond which I got from Repco (in Australia). And ended up fixing my daughters GG Airbox with. But Q-Bond comes with some crystals which can be used to support the break your trying to fix. By pouring the crystals on and then dripping the glue on too. Anyway I used the Q-Bond crystals with the 406 Loctitie to fix my Sherco tail and it's still holding strong after about 20 rides.....Considering the break is right on the bend of the tail. This is not bad result (406 Loctitie and Q-Bond crystals) , I think Best of balance. Neo
April 14, 200818 yr i think most modern trials bikes would have polyethelyne mudgards and this plastic cannot be repaired with glue however it can be welded but it becomes more brittle if a naked flame is used rhodes03
