Back to your crack . . . That photo doesn't show much of anything out of order. Did you intend to show us the cracked fairing, or your supposed crack in the cam cover? The fairing is made of ABS plastic, so an ABS cement will repair, or stop, the crack.Has a small crack in the fairing. Asked the dealer to remove the decals you can see in above picture. Is this an easy repair. Does the cam cover in photo look damaged at the bottom? Can't be sure.

I click on your picture and get a roughly 5" X 7" picture. Can't zoom anymore than that on my iMac, it seems. I think I see a crack, almost directly above the first cam cover bolt (not the plastic cover) but does it extend right from top to bottom? In other words, is that whole section cracked off from everything forward of it? Again, ABS cement will do a strong repair, but try to avoid seepage of cement from the back onto the painted side. The cement actually melts the plastic together again, so very little is needed.
If you can open the crack ever so slightly and then put a wee dab of cement along it, that would ensure the best bonding of the cracked surface. Of course, you need to get this panel off the bike, which means pretty much all the plastic has to come off. If some cement should squeeze through the crack onto the paint, wipe it off immediately with a clean dry cloth. I'm not sure if ABS cement solvent would harm paint, so best to avoid getting it there in the first place.
And yes, just to be clear, apply the cement from the rear.
Hope the repair goes well for you. Glad to help. One of those filters DOES appear to have different construction, even as to the oil flow holes size and number. The ones with eight holes looks more like the ones I have always used. Pictures are a wee bit blurry, so can't really see if the gasket is different as well. I'd return that one for one like the others.Thanks Bush for advice. Just want to prevent the crack getting any bigger due to vibration and the elements. I bought a few Honda oil filters for the bike and noticed 2 of them had an exposed nut inside and one with a cover. They are for this model of bike. Might be just different country of manufacture or changed filter design.

Just checked one in my stock pile (Honda part # 15410-MFJ-DO1) and there is no nut inside, just a smooth cover over what is probably the pressure relief valve. Also has the eight holes.Thanks Bush for advice. Just want to prevent the crack getting any bigger due to vibration and the elements.
