    If it were me I'd make the rear of the top-box real visible to the rear for added safety as the scoot is pretty well camouflaged as far as visibility goes.
    Extra rear reflector/lights or at least flour colour on it.
    I have a very bright blue Helmet! Will look out for a cool reflector!

    mm Disk brakes front and back - so I expect you will be doing stoppies and nice wheelies?
    It stops beautifully - Wayne at Eric's told me I wasn't allowed to do any wheelies!!!

    Cool de-restricting

    Had this link sent to me by a fellow scooter rider today - you will need to cut and paste to get it to work

    Not too much work to get it going faster. At present only between 50 & 60kms on the clock but not sure how accurate it is. I love it though, seems very zippy and easy to ride.

    Cool

    Don't worry, you will get your turn - of course Glen, Richard and big Simeon have all ridden it - offerred Kelly a ride when he turned up but he didn't have any gear!

    I could be wrong but I think the extra length adds to top end.

    Get it derestriced by a mechainc and it should go a bit faster

    Nice scooter. I'd be interested if I lived in town. Riding on the motorway, for 45 minutes is not a good look on a scooter
    Get a runnner 180 and get a decient kit and it will go 140km/hr all day good for commuting on the motorway.

    Nice scoot Suz! Gotta admit, if petrol prices keep rising there might be one parked in my garage too

    You know, I should know this from my breif foray into gokart racing, but I'm pretty sure it adds bottom end. It's all to do with the shock wave as the exhaust gasses expand into the expansion chamber sucking the exhaust gasses out and then being bounced back towards the exhaust port to push a bit of the new air/fuel mixture back in. With a longer pipe it takes longer to happen, so it boosts power at low revs......I think...

    Well when racing karts you use the same expansion chamber but use spacers betwixt the header and the chamber to move the power band...
