I did that myself. that CVT cover is my original. I masked it off carefully with painters tape and used a scrolling jugsaw to do teh cut out over the clutch and used a 2 1/2 inch hole saw to cut teh hole for the variator.

what kind of mount did you use to stretch your strada? I have been thinking about doing it to my vento.

Bashan is right, is seems counterintuitive, but the easiest way is to remove the cowel (cover) and remove the whole headlight assembly. MUUUUCH easier!

Here is a pic:
The circled area is the vac port on my intake. The arrow points to a vac port on my carb. The pink hose is for ilustration only as it is a flat slide and I have a manual shut off for my fuel line and gravity feed, no vacuum is needed. I had the two ports capped off with little rubber caps I bought at Checker auto for cheap. They were rotting and almost fell apart in my hand when I pulled them off.

Here it is installed, again with pink hose for ilustration and yellow circles showing ports.

Manual shut off:

Zip ties have since been replaced with quality hose clamps. If you look close you will see my mistake when putting it back together. The fuel is going into the "out" side of the filter. I have since re-run the whole fuel line down the right side of the scoot, stright to the carb. Cheers!

Compression is fine like I thought. checked on a couple of things, upjetted from 115 to 120, 12g rollers and an important one, the caps I had on the vacuum ports were al rotted and probably leaking. New temp caps on, and JB weld tomorrow! Should be able to ride tomorrow and will let you know!

I installed a set of teh 55w driving lights just like that originally and in exactly the same place.. My electrical system couldn't handle them, and when I hit hard bunps they would hit the fender, I ended up using an LED set and relocating them here:


On the sides of the fenders down lower.
