| Haha... It will go better after repacking, but would be quicker still with proper wadding fitted, tighter the wadding the better the exhaust performs |

10% out on most Vespa speedos... the GTS seems to be the same.

.....actually funny you should say that but have you seen the rear of a suzuki hyabussa?????
my top box is my little "bussa hump", breaks up the air behind me, the same air we cut through so well with our lovely little flysceens... i swear it worked even better when i stapped another bag on the back seat filling the gap betwen me and the topbox so the air had nowhere to go but all the way round......must admit though i didn't fill the bag with pan scourers but i suppose i could
