Hi guys,
I have a 1990 BMW K100 LT. Some time ago, I was outside the 10 cm high asphalt line , was not able to recover, and the bike very slowly turned over in the ditch.
I had almost come to a complete stop, however, the weight of the bike made the lower side panel crack into two large and one small piece.
Could someone tell me me what they are made of? Is it polyester and glassfiber, or epoxy/glassfiber? If it is the first, then I should repair it with polyester, epoxy will not stick for long. I also plan to add carbon fiber on the backside of the panels, to strengthen them. Here too, it is important to know if it is polyester or epoxy that have been used.
BR, Sigurd
