Checked today but not yet available ... dunno if anyone has mentioned it on here before ... I only just noticed it ...
 
I holed my l/h rocker cover trail riding in N. Wales a few years ago, & repaired it with superglue, a latex glove & some gaffer tape. No 30-40 km limit & no 80kph limit to the repair as it lasted 4 days, did over 200 miles & I still had it up to 80mph.

Sounds a good idea though..... any chance of a picture?
 
Can't post a picture yet (they have either stole my sponsor money and ran away to France or my paypal payment hasn't cleared yet) ... imagine a rocker cover ... but black and rubbery ...
 
mix some araldite with cotton wool - fills any sized hole, and it last for years -

I always carried some when travelling , and have used it a few times, so i know it works - last temporary repair lasted 6 years :D
