plastex for the cracks, putty bog for the scratches. Anything else is wastiing your time, at least regarding the cracks that is.

Get familiar with a soldering iron for the cracks - ABS is pretty easy to weld. If it needs building up, then grab some plastic from an old fairing to use as a filler rod, or use plastex.

Plastex is pretty good stuff, but just melting it back together's cheaper.

most bikeshops should have it, but unfortunately most don't. I think MCAS stock it but m not sure.

I know racewear in Wollongong stock it though.
