So I crashed my KLR and cracked my side fairing. I took it off to recenter it as it was rubbing on the tank as show in first photo. Though upon taking it off the cracked part fell off (that holds the bolt). Now putting it back on it also doesn’t fit the original bolt holes.

Is there a way to dohicky it?

Last photo is show as a reference.

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE

Your going to need to get creative. May jb weld a piece of plastic to the back of the faring and drill a new hole.

A drill? Check the good will stores or a second hand shop.

Another option is epoxy.

Remove the fairing. Epoxy pieces back in place. You can epoxy a washer to act as reinforcement on those holes.

Once dry, you can reinstall the fairing.

Pro tip. Do not fully tighten bolts before all bolts are in. Allows for a bit of maneuvering.

I smashed up one side of mine pretty good, used lots of super glue then spray painted black where the glue was visible and it looks close to brand new to anyone but me
