You could even rivet the piece under the broken parts. There is always a way to fix parts. It just depends on how nice you want them to look, though most of us can figure out how to make them look good as well.

With the way Thais tailgates and ride, it's a big possibility here in Bangkok. Unbelievable, the guy just made excuses that his brakes are not that good and that I stopped so abruptly...
With all that done.
Any suggestion of what mods should I consider or shall I just buy an OEM replacement?

Thank you Mel. I cut the hanging plastic and is thinking of ways to reattached it as the plate is taking all the mud. I am looking into possible materials (like the ones you mentioned). That, or remove the flap entirely and install an aftermarket mud guard.Mel46 wrote:Cut off the piece that is hanging following the cut angle that is already there on the right side. Then either reattach that part by putting a piece of aluminum behind it to be used as the attachment point or find another way to reattach the part by some other means, such as a black piece of plastic. I also would not be surprised if there were shops that offered aluminum versions of the mud flap. You are lucky that it was the only part messed up.

Shame on me! I forgot to say Sorry this stupid mishap happened to you! Thank whomever you want because this "hit" could have been worse. If you keep that in mind, your cracked tail is no biggie. Sometimes things happen for a reason...in your case, it will be an upgrade. Chintzy tail no more!
Good Luck and please keep us posted!

Take apart the license plate holder and mount it on the mudguard upside down. This will get it right under the reflector.
I have the same plate holder. You can see the location on my bike here - http://www.hondapcx.org/viewtopic.php?f ... ivi#p85116
