Now all I need to do is figure out how to fit the damn thing.

currently the scooter is stock except for a flyscreen and topbox. In total it came to 147 euros so about £115 delivered. I went for this after reading good things about it mainly on modernvespa.com and because you dont have to mess around with different weights. Obviously I'll give a full report once its fitted.

Smudger , can you tell me how you went about paying for and ordering it as i looked at this site but all seemed a bit confusing.. Definately want to get a j.costa within the next couple of weeks !!... let me know whats its like compared to stock ? as mine in in the same state of tune as yours...

smudger · Posted: Thu Apr 03, 2008 10:04 am Post subject:

You order it, then they send you an email confirming total cost inc delivery and with a link to make payment, fairly straight forward, if not as simple as some others...

Well I got in from work today and the J Costa Variator was waiting for me Very Happy

It gets better though just as I was admiring the build quality I got a phone call from
Andy @ PSN to say they'd just got some more Leo Vince exhausts in so I ordered one
of those too, at a good price I thought, £209 Very Happy

can you post a few pics when the exhaust is fitted and also let us know about the performance Wink

would love to see how it compares to my reliable scorpion, which is fitted with 2 brackets and is improved and comes with 2 years warranty and still looks like brand new.....

As I have no Variator tool I've booked the scoot in at my local dealers to get it fitted and they're gonna fit the pipe at the same time so I have
to wait till next Tuesday to find out if it was worth it.
