My friend repaired his motorcycle farings(ABS) with baking soda and crazy 
glue.  The parts must fit perfectly.  With the parts held together, form a 
bead of baking soda on the crack line.  Start dripping the crazy glue onto 
the baking soda until saturated.  Continue down the crack until all the 
baking soda is saturated.  Let dry.  The bead will become rock hard when 
cured.  This is what he told me.  I have never had an opportunity to try it 
yet.  Speaking from experience, I do know that straight glue(ABS glue or 
crazy glue) doesn't have enough strength by itself to last very long, if at 
all.

Good Luck.
