Pannier Glue??

[Pylie]

Yep. I'm a plonker -its official Fitted my panniers then tried to negotiate the pedestrian gate and forgot the darned things were on there!!!!

Anyone know of a decent glue to fix a split pannier. Better still, anyone got a LHS pannier going cheap?!

any pictures

Motormartin might have an idea about glues

if it's plastic... get it plastic welded

 

[Pylie]

yes they are plastic standard panniers for the 1150. Not heard of Plastic welding though...


Hmm should've taken some pics ... t'was quite funny a few minutes later but not at the time. Ripped it clean off you know.

Araldite is as good as anything for the plastic panniers,it depends on how smashed the pannier is and how determined you are to mend it though

 

[Pylie]

I'll try the araldite -had thought it might work. Its only a split (invisible when pressed together) thought it had worked OK with superglue but split on same line again when I 'locked' it on.

Plastic repair

Plastic welding is very effective and perminant. Ask at your local (motor)bike shop, who dose the fairing repairs for them. Ether that or any large bodyshop. Most cars have plastic bumpers, now many have plastic wings and boot/bonnets you'd be surprised.

Is it just the lid or the back of the pannier damaged?.

Got two lids

 

[Pylie]

Just the back - bet I fix it and theres a whole bus load come along at the same time
