upgrades.........where to start?
Well here is a pic of the GT I just got going. I wanted to get input on what you all think is the best first upgrades I might do. You know.... price versus results and feasibility and so on. That sort of thing. I see a lot here. Where to start?
Thanks all and Merry Christmas!

Re: upgrades.........where to start?
I've heard there's a new 2 speed automatic in the works that would make one heck of an upgrade.

Re: upgrades.........where to start?
A different chain tensioner might be good. I never trusted the ones that come with the kit.

Re: upgrades.........where to start?
Maybe this thread will help you out Evan. That is a very nice ride 
What kind of mods are looking for? Performance, looks, reliability, comfort?

Re: upgrades.........where to start?
The best performance upgrade for the money, I believe would be a tuned pipe. If your handy you could pickup a 50cc pocket rocket t-exhaust about $20+ on ebay
