would you buy...

Clear or different colored tail lights/turn signals/etc? My next task I wanna tackle after I get done with my moped is maybe some clear turn signals and brake lights. I only ask because the start up costs would be expensive any perhaps i could re coup some by selling some here.

Proper jet size

2001 elite. new variator/weights/r1 muffler/ oil pump is tied open. Now Im not 100% about this whole jet business. Runs well hits a little over 40.
