I got mine the other day through motorcyle larry. Where is the best place to find black ABS glue? Is this something you can pick up at Home Depot or Lowes?
ABS Solvent cement for ABS plumbing pipe available at Home Depot or Lowes etc. Black would be good, not available in all areas, any color will work.
Any hardware, auto parts store should have it. Along with HD & Lowes.
Takes over night to harden.
Actually proper ABS cement will set in 15 -20 minutes ,a couple of hours and the fender can be re-installed. That being said, I prefer to let them sit overnight and then install a bead of black silicone on the inside seam to finish it off.
I used Goop. Worked great.

I do NOT recommend the use of Goop. It will not bond the plastic properly like ABS solvent cement will, which actually melts the plastic together like a chemical weld.
Glues like the Goop only adhere to the surface of the plastic and one day will fail and the extender will be gone.
I am scraching my head, wondering what you all are doing with the stuff stopper,bieng from Africa and considering our unpaved road conditions, every time i went out for a ride i need to wash the bike due to muddy stuff covering the lower cowls, but i always assume the developed world have nice paved roads and no need for fenda extenders , especially considering the ST is not an off road bike.
The STuff STopper fender extender is really useful in protecting the radiator as well as the lower bodyworks paint. Any type of roads can cause a problem.
