help with fairing - PocketBikeForum.com

so I have a problem... I let my friend ride my elite rep today... he was at a complete stop and he gave a little too much gas then he flipped it and it landed on him when he was flat on his back, so my problem it the seat is cracked from the middle of the seat to the end. is there a way that I can stop it from growing so it doesn't go all the way to the tail? stupid me for letting him ride it, thank god he's scared of it now.

If you go to Canadian tire and buy a fibre glass repair kit you should be able to stop the cracking. As long as you can do some basic body work you should be O.K. Make sure to by the matting and resin stuff and not the stuff in the paint can it will not hold as well. If you want to you can even bondo after the fibre glass and repaint and it will look like new. Or simply buy a new one

That should work, you can also buy some two part epoxy (good quality autobody type stuff, not the walmart type crap) and glue it back together with a seam underneath. After hardening this stuff can be ground down and painted

well after you patch er' up i belive you can attach the tail saver to the elite as well. The tail saver is a bracket that slips into the back of a cag frame then you screw that onto the fairing. i have one for my cag and it work great you can purchase this from huckster
