I recall I JB Welded mine several years ago.  Check Stadium Yamaha Kymco Parts List.
However more and more parts are being listed as "Call for Price".

JB Weld (About $5.00) has held for several years.  My Brother's Alum. 635 cu. in.  1,200+ Hp.
Racing Engine is a combination of alum. welding and JB Weld and he won a national record two weeks ago.  You will find your plastic panels with broken tabs from vibration and worn out plastic threads from removing and replacing self-tapping screws.
Works excellent on these items. You can back up your bond with a piece of roughened up thin (pop can) alum. patch.
The only downside is it takes all night to cure for the regular JB,  but there is a quick cure.  Beats $15.00 shipping alone for new parts.

Go to the Hardware, Auto Parts Store, Lowes and read the package.

The black and red tubes, not the quick cure.  If this works,  which it should, you'll not only save money, but probably 2 weeks waiting on new parts.  Squeeze each tube about 1 1/2" long.  Mix together (I use a nail).   You'll have about 5 minutes working time.   Don't know what experience you have, but be willing to learn and save alot of money.

hi guys,

had an accident w/ my gv250

Go to Home Depot and ask for a small roll of Metal (not plastic) Pipe Hanger / Pipe Strap.  Using this I made a bracket for my right side mirror when it broke off last Dec.  Works great - even better than the original - I'm getting ready to do the left side mirror because if vibrates - the repaired right side mirror spoiled me. 

Tools needed: tin snips, drill bits, drill, nut and bolt or pop rivet (optional) gun.
