    best way to fix fenders

    hi everyone I'm new to bikes i have an 200s and the right fender has a piece broke off and the left one has a crack in it. I'm wondering if anyone can tell the best way to fix them?

    Would fiberglass stick and stay on them any good or just fall off or if drilled some holes in them and stitched them together with some wire what would look the best and last until i come across some new ones

    theres a product called fuser for repairing plastic bumpers its almost like 2 part epoxy and is strong as can be... basically on the back u put almost like a fiberglass mesh and fuser over it spread it thin and wait for it to dry, it is sandable and u can fill gaps with it... but it is quite $ just ask at any automotive supply store and they can tell you more.

    Thats what my dad and I have done for years now. On a nice shiny good condition fender I wouldnt do it but for older beat up ones it works great.
