But make sure you drill holes at each end of the crack to stop it running.

Nowt worse than a running crack; get a new un.

It looks like it’s the actual batwing that’s cracked rather then the screen?

If so, I had a plastic fairing “welded” at a caravan repair workshop once ground back and filled you would never had known… had to have it repainted as well mind…

This, definitely, before any other attempt to cover it up or repair it.

Actually, thinking about this a bit more, we have all seen your attempts at wiring so if I were you I’d get some professional to do it.

I'll have you know my soldering skills are still holding out.
For now.

 

[Doc]

It'll do for now plus the amount of times I have it on the bike.
Plus I have my wind splitter.

That looks fine, and good to see you attended the full, week long residential "How to affix a sticker" course.

Jealous of my skills.

Hell yes....when I wrapped my panniers, I may as well have taken the backing off the sheet of wrap, hung it out in the rain/sun/fog/snow and chucked the pannier at it....same effect...probably.
