Which Plastic?
Discussion
Good morning.
I have been tarting up my bike as it was looking a bit scruffy.
I fitted a new aftermarket headlights fairing and it’s not perfect but ok.
I would like to fit a blue piece of plastic to close the hole in the mounting bracket.
The bracket is fairly flexible and the mounting points are definitely flexible so my plastic will be subject to movement.
I was planning to use a flexible adhesive such as silkoflex.
There are several different types of platic to choose from… abs, acrylic, polypropylene, PMMA etc.
I was leaning towards polypropylene as I imagine it is flexible and this will put leas stress on the glue.
If there’s any plastics experts out there or someone with experience of something like this… suggestions on “best” plastic type would be appreciated - thanks!
