My fairing had some damage. I dont know why. I did not over tighten it but we took crazy glue put it in the pieces broke. took a small soldering tool. Propane type. got it hot grooved the broken pieces. This welds everything back together. Then went back and smoothed everything with the soldering tool. Then went across the area and made light grooves opposite the way it was broke. went over both sides with a light coat of J B Weld. Be sure not to put a huge coat of J B Weld you may not get your fairing to go back on properly. Rode to Daytona for Biketoberfest and back. Holding well. Hope this helps you.
