I posted a few weeks back about installing a 96+ inner fairing on a 93 electraglide and learned that there was a significant redesign between 95 and 96. Today I see I have this big *** crack in the inner fairing. So it needs to be replaced. Anyone know where I can find a NOS version, or used takeoff that I can buy for the 1993?
I saw a video of a process something like "plastic tig welding". It was seriously cool. They had a pinpoint torch (don't know if it was just super-hot air or an actual torch like oxy or something) and a plastic filler rod, and it went down just like tig welding. A little sanding. A little paint. And that baby would be good as new.

We used to do that at Unisys years ago building custom sized chemical tanks, there's an art to it but once you get the hang of it the tanks held up well.
OP, if you need a replacement, I've been very happy with everything I've bought from Pinwall Cycle Salvage. They're not the lowest price but very honest with the condition descriptions. The condition of my last order far exceeded my expectations.
Good luck with whichever direction you go, if it were me (having done "plastic welding"), I'd opt for a used one vs. repairing the old one. It will be a lot less work and get you on the road sooner if you can find one.
thanks all. Got that ebay link saved. I checked with Pinwall and they only have one, in worse shape than mine! Gotta go give the bad news to the wife...
Aloha,
while replacing my stearing bearings I find out that the former owner must have let down the bike also.
I find a crack at the left side on the inner Fairing and windshield.
Now I use an replacement windshy without the down holes and use the holes for added turn signal control cause the Fairing bag covers the original sometimes.
To repair the crack I use JB weld.
Seams it works well.
Actually the fastest and savest solution.
I repair several things at my cars with JB weld and it works always since.
