Glue, Epoxy, Weld? Plastic repair...
Just an update. I did a home remedy "good enough" fix for now until the new fairing arrives.
I ended up using the Plastex 2 part plastic weld. It seemed to work better than I though it would. I experimented on one side using a fiberglass mesh for the cracked side and an aluminum wire mesh for the other side that was completely broken.
Some sanding, then more plastic weld, and sanding again, then 3 coats of primer and 3 coats of rattle can paint with wet sanding in between. This is as close as a color I could get an off the shelf color. Not perfect but hard to tell.
Not a perfect repair, but it'll get me down the road riding again.
