    Hey guys, as you may have seen my other post with crash i had well my claim is getting along nicely and getting part payed soon so i deciding to make my ped with mad power but reliable so going to 172 it, im planning it ahead so will be a little easier,

    The question is im putting 125 typhoon engine in a Zip frame and theyre isnt many exhausts, what would be best? and would the pm59 slot straight on? ive read some posts that frame needs grinding down abit for it to fit but i aint sure.

    In my opinion you want to be looking at getting the PM59 cut and welded so it will fit rather than hacking up bits of the scooter frame. I'm looking at doing similar for my SR. I also already had a Scorpion modded to fit on my Derbi 172 conversion.

    What happened to you? Did someone knock you off? I myself just settled my accident claim this week, nice big cheque in the post to me :D doesn't make up for the knackered leg, but sure will buy a lot of performance parts.

    I feel your pain, my knee was shattered, wrist and shoulder broke as well as some ribs. It can take a long time to settle a claim, but stick with it and be patient and make sure you're getting what you deserve. It took me 4 years to settle mine, but I have ended up with 5 times as much money as they tried to give me in the first year. Good luck.
