Frankly I don't think the cement will have anything at all to do with its structural integrity. The pieces fit that tightly, there's plenty of residual stiffness and there are no stresses on the fairing in that area that would cause the crack to grow. I could probably have ridden the bike for years with it just resting in place and not seen any significant increase in the crack.

The only way I can see it being tested is if I drop the bike again, in which case I expect the exact same failure to occur.

Thanks for the offer of the touchup pen, but as you can see I really don't need it.
