    Agreed I'm looking for one, how im paying for it I have no idea.
    TBH I would love a 172 stalker, however I don't have any where near the knowledged accuired to do a conversion, I would advise you to do a lot of reading ect and not to attempt a conversion unless you know what you doing ( you might allready, just giving my advice)

    Looking Forward to this.

    yer i agree stalkers are great scooters

    i have good knowledge with scooters so the 172 conversion would be a doddle for me just at the the moment trying to see wether i can mount a radiator to get a watercooled engine

    Tbh, think it will be hard to mount one and still maintain a good appreance on the bike, although havent even owned a stalker to look myself, why not just get an air cooled 125 engine? any reasson for wanting a water cooled?

    no specific reasons just water cooled engines are easier to get hold off and the mounts are basically the same on the 125 engines

    looking good
    by the way them forks look the same as typh ones if im correct a normal nrg rim wont fit you would either have to try and find one with a 3 hole disc mount or put on nrg forks

    yurp youre right i have had trouble so far finding the front rim but one will pop up eventually theres is a guy selling one on here for £50 but paint is in bad condition so it could end up costing me £100 to get it powder coated and new tyre

    if your going the 125 rout it will mean your going the 172 route eventually... grab a wc engine and an AIR COOLED 172 kit, throw it on ion one go, the kit fits if you unwind the studs a bit. wc and ac engines are identical bar the waterpump.. only real diff is you have a pump spinning about instead of a fixed oil pump drive gear shaft. can pull the pump, cut the shaft and refit but this requires stripping the enmgine if you dont want the impelar nockin about in the bottom.

    wc stalkers are like wc typhs, a big no no. any bike with no wc moddel avalable will mean hidden waterbottles cut pannels and sheer bodgery all over. typh engine if you can or a conversion. ether or really. just dont go wc. keep it up tho, why not runner wheels? (can use a 280 caliper adaptor made for the nrg forks to space the caliper the correct ammount for the runner/nrg 5 bolt wheel ;) )

    like i said all you need do to convert a wc to ac is wind the studs out as there further in on the wc tap the flywheel for the fan, bang the covers on and decidse wether to remove the waterpump or to just leave it...

    see again, people posting when theyve never done it...just guessing.... so ye, as always unless you have PHYSICALLY DONE a job yourself your advice is worthless. this aint runner.net the studs arnt long enough, you have to wind them out first.
