dozer.:How about a part number for the filter, heheh. Also, installation? Is it easy or hard? Looks like some formidable results, and would like to take a look into it.
Wonder how those would go with a LV4R also.
Hey Dozer, the filter used was a K and N RD-0600 (a motorbike filter). It was fitted to the end of the pipe that connects the airbox to the throttle body. Remove the airbox, and just slide the filter onto that conecting pipe and tighten, and done! It is a tight fit on the pipe, which is preferable. On the Vespa the K and N is hidden by the body work, and will not be visible without removing the boot liner plastic.
If you look down inside, with the boot liner out, you see the pipe from the throttle body to the airbox.
The vespa was not as loud as the beverly, probably because the filter sits right up inside the bodywork. But, still a noise comparable to a new exhaust.
The weights for the vespa were 13gram Dr Pulleys. The beverley has 11 gram weights, and is a little faster. The weights and filter are very logical modifications as they are both consumable items, which need to be replaced anyway. Replacing them with the higher performance units is more or less the same cost as replacing with OEM gear.
Bunnybash is right, the 0-100 times are impressive, but the responsiveness of the scooter is the biggest change.
