how to repair a rear fender on a motorcycle
HOW TO PLASTIC WELD A MOTORCYCLE REAR FENDER
Using a mini-weld model 6 airless plastic welder
Cost to replace fender-$75.14 + S/H $8.94= $84.09
Cost of repair fiber-flex= $4.00 Steel mesh .50 cents
TOTAL COST OF REPAIR $4.50
So with using a plastic welder. I was able to save $79.59
1) Work Area
- Have a clean and organized work area.
- Well ventilated area.
- Remember the plastic welder is HOT. Can burn you and start a fire. Just use common sense and you'll be fine.
- Set up plastic welder. (Set welder to preheat, how your doing the next step)
2) Parts that need welded
- Check the parts to be welded. Identify what kind of plastic your working with. In this case it is fiber-flex plastic welding rod. I used fiber flex because it is easier to use. I had to cover a large area. Get out the welding rods you'll be using. Plus if you're going to use wire mesh for added strength get that out also. We will be using wire mesh for this project.
- Make sure that the part is clean. ( soap and water should work)
- Set up part to be welded on work bench. Know how your going to weld it.
- Now set the plastic welder to heat setting your going to use to weld the plastic fender.
3) Plastic weld part
- Lay out part to be welded.
- I made a V-groove in the crack and filled it with Fiber-Flex rod.
- Then for added support. I welded the wire mesh in.
- Now for the big hole. I welded the wire mesh in. I put aluminum tape on the back to help hold the mesh in place.
- Using the Fiber-Flex rod begin to fill in the large void. This is time consuming. So take your time.
- If plastic gets too hot to work with cool it off with water, not too much because your still welding.
- Do the same thing to the other large hole. And for added support do the same thing to the other side of fender.
- Now we are done with the welding.
4) To finish the part
- let plastic cool down. You can help it cool down with water. Use a spray bottle and lightly spray the welded plastic down to cool.
- Begin to sand the weld down. I use 60 grit sand paper then go to 180 grit sand paper.
- If painting part use paint made for plastic.
