I recall I JB Welded mine several years ago.  Check Stadium Yamaha Kymco Parts List.
However more and more parts are being listed as "Call for Price".

JB Weld (About $5.00) has held for several years.  My Brother's Alum. 635 cu. in.  1,200+ Hp.
Racing Engine is a combination of alum. welding and JB Weld and he won a national record two weeks ago.  You will find your plastic panels with broken tabs from vibration and worn out plastic threads from removing and replacing self-tapping screws.
Works excellent on these items. You can back up your bond with a piece of roughened up thin (pop can) alum. patch.
The only downside is it takes all night to cure for the regular JB,  but there is a quick cure.  Beats $15.00 shipping alone for new parts.

The black and red tubes, not the quick cure.  If this works,  which it should, you'll not only save money, but probably 2 weeks waiting on new parts.  Squeeze each tube about 1 1/2" long.  Mix together (I use a nail).   You'll have about 5 minutes working time.   Don't know what experience you have, but be willing to learn and save alot of money.

hi guys,

had an accident w/ my gv250

Go to Home Depot and ask for a small roll of Metal (not plastic) Pipe Hanger / Pipe Strap.  Using this I made a bracket for my right side mirror when it broke off last Dec.  Works great - even better than the original - I'm getting ready to do the left side mirror because if vibrates - the repaired right side mirror spoiled me. 

Tools needed: tin snips, drill bits, drill, nut and bolt or pop rivet (optional) gun.
