Thanks for the reply ReSTored. Now that you mention it there isn't a milage field in this form's selling page. I just added it – Kilometers: 49,430. Most of the other stuff you mentioned has been considered. When I bought it there were a lot of ’99 V-Stars available and this was about 10%...

Thanks boyoboy. Custom paint definitely narrows the pool of potential new owners. It's totally subjective and no offence is taken. But $2900 is quite low, compared to other V-Stars for sale – based on year, milage and equipment.

Thanks for the feedback, GreyGhost. It was custom painted by the original owner, a dealership in Quebec. It came loaded with Yamaha accessory parts and I've only added Yamaha parts. As far as I can tell, only the leather panniers aren't Yamaha.

Hey members. I'm selling my 1999 Yamaha V-Star 650 Custom here and on Kijiji.ca. I wasn't getting any bits so I've dropped the price a couples times, and still no interest. I know the paint will only be on interest to specific people, so some time is needed to wait until that person comes along...

DOT and CSA don't mean much to he when it comes to my head. I understand ECE has some good certifications for helmets, but I'm sticking to Snell certified for now. We needed Snell certified helmets for amateur car road racing and that's what I expect for my bicycle helmet. So naturally, for me...

Hey Timtune. Maybe we should have a Health And Safety forum for these sorts of things? I'm working in my garage or a ventilated room. The acetone ate through my ‘chemical safe’ gloves. The acetone I'm using is in a squeeze bottle with a small hole for dispensing into the glass jar. I'm using...

The ABS cement didn't work on my test. But MadMike's solution is working like a miracle. I'm taking it slowly so I don't make any errors. I'll post pics once completed.

This sounds like an amazing process MadMike. I'll give this a try. But first, it gave me an idea to try abs pluming glue. That stuff welds pieces of abs plastic permanently, and I have some. I'll let everyone know how it goes. Thanks for this MadMike!

I've JB weld on my list of things to check out. Maybe they have a different formula that will work. Too bad the bags don't indicate the type of plastic. Not even a manufacturing date stamp - unless they are hidden between the layers. Thanks regder

I like the idea of riveting metal in the pannier, to distribute the repair and any future impacts. If I find a suitable epoxy, I suspect adding that would really strengthen repair. Thanks GG.

I'll check out the FB market and the YT video. The main body plastic doesn't seem to have fibreglass in it. But it's thick, so the welding things might work. Thanks JZ67

Hey Jeff. I haven't heard of West Systems yet, but I'll take a look for it. Thanks for helping. BTW The LePages and Pematex epoxies I've tried are the 2 barrel syringe type.

Thank Katatonic. I'll look around and maybe ask a body shop about this.

I’ve damaged a Ducati [Givi made] pannier. The type of black plastic used doesn’t seem to repair with the types of epoxies [LePage], super glues [Krazy and Gorilla brands] and polyurethane glues [LePage] I’ve tried/tested. Even Permatex Plastic Welder doesn’t seem to have a great bond. I think...
