Can plastic be fixed?
Snapped plastic on head lamp/ number plate flange where it bolts to the frame. Is there any type of glue that will hold this.......or should I just fork out the $92 for a new one?

You might could plastic weld it by melting either plastic welding rods or a plastic fork to melt the break back together..
I used a wood burner from a wood burning kit and melted a plastic fork into a break on a fairing of a kawi EX500 and it held tight as long as I had the bike.
Other option would be to drill holes on each side of the break and stitch the break up with zip-ties frankenstein style

I prefer bailing wire myself
I use my high speed Dremel tool to make the holes
They cover it with a good layer of epoxy or Goop
I've used Gorilla Glue and fiber glass cloth before with pretty good results on a ripped rad cover
