I have a crack in my front mudguard and have tried to glue it with superglue, araldite and some special glue - none of them would stick. anyone know what glue works on the ktm plastics?

Loads of flex in the front mudguard & heavy when full of mud, don't waist your time & buy a new one.

like owen says - but also smother the cable ties in superglue....

but as wolfy says it flexes all the time and will only last a while - there are loads of cheap aftermarket mudguards that will fit
