How do you patch cracked fenders?

[H.M.F.I.C.]

I am running into the same thing myself. I am restoring a 1979 Honda Z50R Mini Trail dirt bike for a guy and haven't been able to find fenders anywhere. The back fender has a crack all the way down the middle. I have used a soldering iron to repair plastic before and will probably do the same on this one. When I am done you wont even know I was there after a bunch of different grades of sand paper and couple of minutes from a wool buffing pad and some fine buffing compound.

I have a 79 Honda z50 that needed fenders. Went to my local Honda dealer and they had them. Cost about $70.00 for the set. They look really good.

I thought I would post a pic of the cracks I am talking about. The lines in the picture, represent cracks that have gone completely through the plastic. Petty bad huh? Seat is tore up, the metal seat pan is rusted and flaking, there is rust on the handle bars.... the tires are new. haha. Hopefully getting a replacement will work out.
