So, for christmas, I got a Zokata ZR Pocketbike. Works great, 'cept the tail faring cracked the first time I rode it. Reinforcement suggestions anyone?

they are plastic, if you use fiberglass I would use epoxy resin not polyester resin.

My pocketbike is about half the size of yours, phins! She is TINY! So my idea is to cut the faring in half under the seat pad. Then reinforce the seat pan with a welded on 'fin' that supports the tail, move the rear half of the faring back 1 inch (clearance), fill the gap under the seat pad with a steel plate (leave the gap in the body on the side) and bolt the seat cover back on. I think that'll give me more *** room and more support at the same time.



Ever had vapor lock on your PB?
