Stella 2T Upgrade Options
So I bought a 2005 Stella 2T with 5000 miles on it. I'm looking to get a smooth ride ideal for city commuting. Pretty sure everything is stock. Any reccs?

Pinasco kit, pipe and rejet. Nice increase and and reliable. Change the cruciform while you're at it! Do your seals and bearings and you will have a new motor!

Question: I'm trying to replace most of my halogen with LEDs. I removed the switching module and rerouted the rear light to run off DC. Are the turn signals already running off DC? Is there a walkthrough anywhere on how to change the flasher to support LEDs for a 2t (there was one on StellaSpeed but it's long gone).

Never thought the stock stella horn was all that aggressive, myself.....
As for the LED turn signals, you can either go with the tried/true solution of running LED's with a resistor, so that the flasher relay still sees the correct load. Or, you can source an electronic flasher relay, which will be compatible with LEDs. You may need to splice the wires in if you go that route.

If this is your first classic style scooter I would suggest riding it stock for awhile before doing anything major.
It's always good to have a really good feel for the starting point before making moding the snot out of it!
Go ride!

You can get yours sandblasted then chromed.. but the rear hub is a biotch to sandblast and the bearing needs to be pressed out and in.
