JB-Weld is pretty good.  You can get it from Jaycar.

Our own "John g" does excellent plastic bodywork and spraypaint repairs, but he's in Port Elliot in SA.     He fixed "Shillas" ST1300 bodywork after he hit a roo, which smashed his side panel into numerous bits.

Ok thank you. It’s looks like a similar system to loctite but I’ll give it a crack 👍

Failing that, a good plastic welder should be able to help.
