The J Costa type varis with the "pill" shaped weights are evil. They are high end and for a good reason. Better belt travel and less wear from friction on the weights. Thoseghigsare used by a lot of race teams AND those little drag type mini bikes. There will be a noticeable difference in the speed and response. The local scooter shop dude has a Helix identical to mine same mods but his is equipped with the J Costa pil type vari. He's faster off the line and has more top end. Better mpg too. Of I could afford one, I would have to get one. But....$$$$$$
