I heavily modified an ABS fairing to a friends Kawwy Vulcan using heat welding and ABS solvent, no Bondo or fiberglas. After ten years of active road use no cracks or fails.

Vetter and many Vetter copy fairings are not fiberglass. And while epoxy, fiberglass or Bondo does adhere to ABS, its better to use ABS solvent (Acetone) to actually solvent weld the material. ABS can also be thermal welded with a 1500watt soldering iron.

Great work and thanks for the post. I have heavily modified a fairing to fit my VN1600 Vulcan, lots of ABS plastic work that needs a facotry looking finish. In the past I wiped the surface down with Aceton and then coated it with brush on pickup bed liner material to get a consistent surface...

Many fairings like Vetter, Pacifico, Rifle and others are made from ABS plastic. For crack/damage repairs or mods maybe people attempt epoxy, or fiberglass, which many times does not work so well. Since these fairings are made of ABS plastic, you can use the same solvents for ABS plumbing to...

Here is the Pacifico Shadow fairing I have modified to mount onto my Kawasaki Vulcan VN1600 to create a full dresser "Road Glide" style bike. I suppose I could call it a Kawa Glide. I replaced the big gumpy 4" turn signals with LED driving lightsm as the mirrors have built in turn signals. The...

The Pacifico Shadow is a really well made fairing equal in quality and design to the classic Vetter fairing. Just a different interpretation of what Craig established as the deisgn and build goal. Like the Vetter fairing, the Pacifico is made of formed ABS plastic, which makes it very easy to...

I have two of them. One perfect neatly unused. The other is heavily modified to fit my VN1600 Vulcan full dresser

Back in 2020 i built a full dresser VN900 Kawasaki for my friend. It turned out so well I'm nuilding the same fairing on my VN1600 Vulcan
