42MPH on a flat road.  Great acceleration.   It took some experimentation but I got what I wanted.   
Mallosi 70 CC Kit
Stock Carb with Main Jet increased to #95   YOU MUST DO IDLE SCREW MOD
Air Filter
Scooter Assassin's Variator from EBay ($26.00) with Variator Boss Modification

Don't waste your time with the CDI or exhaust change as both are un-restricted on this model and year.   Glad I also didn't need to pay 200.00 for a new Carb.  Stock with jetting and adjustments was fine.

The only additional work I plan is a Kevlar Belt because I expect to be eating mine.  The biggest issue was the carb adjustment.  I had to remove the Idle Mix Brass Screw Cover and work a slot into the screw head below so it can be adjusted.  I used a plain Hack Saw Blade to accomplish this.  This was the key to get it to Idle and start after the mods were done.  If you don't it will idle erratically and be difficult to start when cold.  I attached a Carb pic showing the screw modification.   Mission Accomplished!   Note that the scooter is now surprisingly loud because of the air filter mod.  Just as loud as if I did an exhaust mod.

The 2012 and newer Super 8 50T model is a new design with different mechanical components and requirements (Motor, CDI, Wiring, Mono Shock Suspension vs Dual, etc).  One must weed through the current Super 8 Group to discover posts for this specific year/model.  An example is that I have had no responses on the 2012 model on basic mechanical questions solely related to this production yet the threads have had many views.  It would be nice to see all posts relating to the 2012/13s in one place.  Most of the current members/viewers probably have older units.

I am working on getting  out of the 27 MPH stock depression.  Located adjacent to the battery, under the floor foot rest trap door, 2012 CDI only has 6 wires, much less than older super 8s that required the cutting of one of the 8 wires.   I want to understand if a CDI mod is required.  I know about the carb jets and variator mod requirements.

I removed the USA configuration's factory front turn signals and successfully reconnected the abandoned front signals that were meant to be integrated into the front cowling.  These sit directly above the front LED accent lighting.  It appears that our regulations force Kymco to install the current protruding turn-signals to meet regulations while they leave the light sockets (without bulbs) and original wiring (cut) in place.    One note, there is a trick to removing the black plugs that secure most of the fairing.  Push the pin in further and they will easily pop out.  You will need to purchase BMW Motorcycle Amber turn Signal Bulbs with a 150 degree pin offset (that was a pain to figure out).  Do not use standard turn signal bulbs as they  are too large to pass through the light sockets.  You will find the factory integrated signal harness cable has been cut and terminated under the black tape (seen in attached picture).  Re-connect that wire to the same color that you will re-snake from the original turn signals into the lower cowling.  Looks much cleaner when done.   It also allowed me to install the GIVI windshield (best I have found but needed to be cut down as I did)

After much research I ordered and 1 week later received a Biondi Windscreen from an Italian Website Tagoscooter.com

Cost delivered was $136.00 US (113 EU)  Their communication was excellent as they conveyed the order status and later shipment.  Now for the fit:  According to motorcycle windscreen design, the top of the windscreen should come between your lip and tip of nose while looking straight ahead.  Search the web and you will find videos of this reference.  I have had several screens that I cut to this level (SH150i & Kymco People 200).  The reason is so you look over the windscreen (unobstructed view) and the air is deflected above your head.  YOU SHOULD ALWAYS WEAR PROTECTIVE EYEWEAR .  This screen was the perfect height for me without any alteration.  I am 5'10" .  Many riders (cruisers) get higher screens and look through them (My Harley is this type but had higher quality optics).  You can always duck/tuck behind the Biondi if needed.  My only complaint was that I needed and used several washers as spacers on the left side windshield/mirror mount to even it's height with the right side.  It comes with one large one for the right side but not the left.  Overall, I am totally satisfied.
