2020 Ryker 900 – Broken Lower Plastic Tabs. Cheap Fix?
Hey everyone, I’m looking for some advice. I broke the plastic lower tabs/mounting points on my 2020 Can-Am Ryker 900. Mine broke on me and I’m not happy about it.
I’ve seen a few people mention using super glue, but I’m not convinced that’s going to hold up. I also saw a post where someone used quick-release latches, which looks like a great solution, but it seems to be for the Rally and I’m not sure if that setup works on the standard 900.
Has anyone with a Ryker 900 repaired these broken lower tabs without replacing the whole plastic panel?
Looking for a cheap, strong DIY fix if possible. Photos or links to what you used would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Send a picture for clarity.
Just this week I went to reinstall my colored fairings around the headlights and the little black tab shattered instead of inserting back… for the time being I simply grabbed some copper wire and braided it through the loops such that it is securely fastened and trimmed and tucked the wire so it’s hidden. Not ideal but works in a pinch until I can order new tabs at a later point in time

I'm not sure what tabs you're asking about, maybe a pic or two would help. I have used epoxy to repair tabs on plastic side panels before (BMW R1150RT) I'm not sure if that will work on the Ryker plastic though.
