I guess it depends on how it was broken... I haven't ride my NH in the last three weeks or so, and last time I took her out, I saw oil coming out from there. So after all this time it start to spill. You can just try super glue, let it dry well, and then judge by common sense if it will hold or not. I would think that it should be fine during the days you wait for the new part to arrive. Javier.
