    Personally I like the sound of the Polini even if it does sound like a popcorn popper. :rofl

    With the Polini & some re-jetting, it should be a nice around town bike.

    My neighbors don't :lol3


    In your experience, how much more should I bump up my jets on just the Polini pipe? I just need a baseline as a reference mark.

    It depends on what main you've got in there now but if I were you I'd get mains from stock+2 up to 110 or 112. You've probably got like a 98 or something in that range. Start rich and work your way down.

    A Sito+ will be lower since it's a bit more restrictive than the Polini.

    :lol3

    Are the guys from VespaSpeed OK to deal with? I just noted that their prices are quite low compared to Scooterworks. No online ordering system though.

    Let me ask a few people and get back to you. If you haven't dealt with Scooterworks before they're all good people and their customer service is top notch. I used to be a regular telephone/walk in customer years ago.

    Vespaspeed is also known as American Scooter Center in TX.

    Retail price can depend on what supplier they go through and or the exchange rate it was purchased at. Exchange rates suck for us in the states right now. :cry

    Good luck getting bits.
