I've never used the stuff, nor have I seen it used, but I've seen it referred to on the SVRider board quite often.

BONDO!

The instrument panel should fix well with a 2-part epoxy -- it comes in black so no issue.

This is different plastic from the fairing, which is an ABS and responds well to ABS cement (the kind plumbers use on ABS pipe).

E6000 is a pretty good industrial strength glue. not sure how well it does as far as 'clear' but if you don't smear it all over the place its no big deal.
