Modern Vespa

Hello to everyone. I've just purchased a 1978 vespa ciao ( L model - I think). I would be looking to make a few upgrades to get my speed up near 40/45mph and need help in choosing the correct add on.

I was going to start with the basics of
* New variator
* New clutch plates
* New larger carb
* New exhaust system

Then moving on to increasing the cc. If needed.

Does this sound feasible? Am I missing a big step that would help?

Any ideas that people have would be greatly received.

It goes without saying that any and all pictures will be posted on here.

I can't answer your questions but welcome to the forum.

I had a Ciao several years ago for a short time. I wish I would have kept it.

You might get more response if you post in the not so modern section.

Good luck.

Thanks for the welcome and forum advice. I'll post it on that section as well.
