Before you start doing anything, you need to know if you have the capacity to make this happen. You need the money to buy those parts and to pay the expert who will customize your bike. Whether it's from your savings or you plan to work for it and save money first, it's up to you. Just make sure you can afford what you want to do or install on your bike.

Again, through suggestion from other pocket bike owners, they can refer you to good places or people that can do the customization at a really cheap or affordable price.
There are local pocket bike dealership shops that may have spare pocket bike parts they can sell to you. With the boom in pocket bike and pocket quad sales, most mini bike dealers have parts and accessories on stock to keep up with the demand.
You can also check out chop shops. Sure enough, they sell performance upgrading kits. These kits have manuals or instructions you can easily follow. You don't need to be a pocket bike mechanic to understand it.
