Tried the plastic weld stuff and it worked great until I went to put on my side cover and they broke off. Finally found the answer, though.
Dremeled off the stubs of the two plastic tits and drilled holes through the box where the tits were. Used a wood screw into the holes to the proper length and dremeled off the heads. Filled in the threads with epoxy and EUREKA, I have new titties the are strong and perky!!! Dremel is King! |

I know this is an old thread, but you guys are cracking me up with this... I'm still new to the forum & just going through reading old threads. I just bought a used Nomad & it already had the same problem. I was going to rig something up but decided to search here first to see if there were cheap replacements.

I believe that everything has been investigated and / or tried. Search and read, easy as apple pie.

A friend of mine, several years ago broke both of his off too, and he drilled out where the studs were and used a couple of 1/4-20 bolts to fix his. Bolt heads are on the inside, and a jam nut on the outside of the inside part with lock-tite. Just make sure they are the same length as the plastic studs were. It works just like it's supposed too, and you don't have to worry about breaking them any more.

A tip is to drill a hole in both pieces, the broken tab and the base, make sure they line up, then use a steel pin and then use the JB Weld, the steel pin will act as a reinforcement.

broken plastic
some years ago I got this stuff to repair the fairing on my last bike because nothing else would last on cracks/broken pins & holes etc.
PlastiFix -- google it -- the stuff really works -- u can mold new parts & fill holes/cracks just like they advertise -- its not cheap but was worth every penny to me |
