Has anyone ever taken their seat tub to a metal fabrication shop and had it duplicated? i have replaced mine once already and i need another now. this bike is only 7 months old. When I am zipping along and think about the fact that the only thing thats keeping me on is plastic, its unnerving.  If you did have one made, do you have photos? thanks. I am going to have one made, I will post pics. |

If it makes you feel better, T2 has no fairings or anything else around the seat tub to give it any sort of help staying put should it need it. I have broken a couple of the seat buckets, or cracked really. I started using large washers on both sides of the mounting areas if possible to help a little, since mine always crack right around the mounting holes. I'm big and fat and I cruise fast and I'm not easy on the scoot and it doesn't worry me. I've test rode it at 60+ with just 2 of 4 bolts. I'm not saying it's smart, just sorta some reassurance for you. If you can find a way to make a better bucket, great, but don't worry so much that you spare no expense.
I think metal might be a bad idea. Take a long ride and pay close attention to how much heat can build up under there (some scoots are worse than others though), then imagine it in metal. Might make a nice oven. I think my SunL, the 4T, was the one of mine that got really bad.
