Husaberg fc 550 2003

if a new cover proves hard to find then they CAN be welded by a professional with the right equipment - and further, metal- or ceramic-reinforced epoxy can also work wonders (JB-Weld, Weicon repair stick), and more magic still can be produced with a wire mesh support under the epoxy filler

My apologies for only having an orthogonal answer for you though

As we're on the subject, are the Husaberg covers magnesium alloy or just simple aluminium? Both are (relatively) easily weldable by a good welder with the right gear, but afaik it can cost quite a bit more to have the complex alloys welded as it needs to happen in a special atmosphere or something.

As on my DR-Z400, it's been said that the only lightweight component on the bike are the magnesium engine covers Famous for cracking and can cost to have 'em repaired.

Seems like the 'Berg covers are more sturdy as they're certainly taken into grittier terrain but I don't see busted covers being discussed nearly as much here as on the 'Zook forums?

One thing I was taught on group rides here is that at least one backpack on a ride should contain some JB-Weld or similar. (What's the common name for this reinforced epoxy type of stuff? Here it's "málmsteypa", translates to metal cement or metal filler.)

I used DEVCON EPOXY ALUMINUM , with good results.

Here a test:
