Dirty big stone chip - ztech screen on 1150RT

[colesyboy]

Hi all,

I read that this screen is made of polycarbonate and that a tube of superglue should sort this problem out, rather than the screen repair kits (that I guess are made for glass). Anyone tried this with success?

Cheers!

I think it's one stage lower than "Whopping Great"...

Would a car windscreen repair work?
Just a thought.

We're still waiting for the pics... Chip, star crack etc etc... I've done running repairs on screens but if we have no starting point it's hard to recommend...

Sorry for my lateness here and thanks for the suggestions, if I can put off getting a new screen for a while or until a bargain appears it’d be great.

I’ve tried with a regular car window glass repair kit, it that didn’t work - so last ditch attempt with superglue?!

I’m back in favour with the bike after I got the John Gemi chip, dominator exhaust, dropped the cat. then got a decent service. It’s pulling harder than ever (suits you sir) and really happy with it. It really is a do it all, all weather bike ( important for Scandinavia). Just need the screen sorted and the left hand heated grip working.

Yes, there not cheap, But they are bloody effective Neil - you have one also I think I read

Yep, that's a bit of a twat of a chip... Firstly you'd want to make sure the cracks don't spread and you'll not get rid like a glass chip repair... Certainly a good runny super glue like Gorilla will keep it solid... I've repaired broken screens with plumbers pipe glue but only when broken...
