The contessa engine could be re-bored but no I did not do it. I did however change shocks to gas shocks (forgot the brand but they were red in colour). I also had to run my rear tyres a bit harder (more air pressure than recommeneded) to compensate for the added weight.

The TL however was built so that there was room for an igloo. When you are single your priorities are a bit different.
