I've tried JB weld on a few occasions and have never had much luck with it. I've been considering using it to hold one of the tabs that hold my front fender on until I get my new forks back from Race Tech. I'd weld it but me and cast alum don't weld well. I tend to blow it away... FYI RT can straighten bent forks, $75 each. As long as there isn't a "crease" in the tube.

Oh how about duct tape? This is a cobble job I did for a buddy after he rear ended me on International Speedway,the first day in Daytona in 1998. I did this while he was in the hospital getting a cast. The head light is one off a GM car I bought at K-Mart,along with the duct tape,across the street while we waited for him to be released....
