The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

If I could find an aftermarket brand of variator with 123mm + of diameter, and weight of ~500 grams, we could possibly get more top end speed. Stock Variator Weight: 707.9 grams Stock Variator diameter: 123 mm ...

Upgraded to this: https://www.steadygarage.com/store/chim ... cx-125-152

None of which really make a big difference in performance. ...

Ordered this windshield upgrade: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B086M72GHQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Material is a bit thinner than the stock windshield, but works great.

is it worth it? The expense and time just to achieve a few extra MPH ? Would it not be a better investment putting the cash into a larger motorcycle / scooter ? Depends. I love the feel and look of the bike. Cruisers are just heavy. Sport bikes feel uncomfortable. Financially it makes sense to just...

Strange thing is it felt almost the same all around. It did hold 55mph at a lower rpm. Acceleration is about the same. Thinking about going down to 10grams to check.
