Bondo, JBweld and zip ties, otherwise the only places I know that do work will just replace them with OEM.

Im about to be doing some fiberglass work on my track bike to get it all ready to go back out. Probably the next couple weeks. They sell the kit at walmart for like $15 or something.

Some plastics can be plastic welded (just melted and put back together). A lot of body shops do it, but not all motorcycle plastics can be done. You will still see a crack, but it won't continue to seperate.
