    Right..

    I want a typh right but i want a 125/172 and the ONLY typhs around my area are 50s, is it simple to change the engine from a 50 - 125 but i also want to reg it as a 125.

    Because ive had enough of the bodge job 50-125 conversions.

    Cheers Murf.

    Its EASYIER & CHEAPER to travel 200 miles to pick up a REAL 125 typhoon, fuck conversions they aint worth a toss when it comes to selling and are dangerious.

    Just get a lift to the nearest good condition 125, or train.. Then ride the bike back! All you need is a phone with some credit and a number to a bike insurence company, and bank card with some doe in it.. Buy the bike, ring insurence, get insured within 10 mins & ride the bloody thing home!

    buy a second 125 engine then but it is way cheaper to buy a 125 typh and less hassle trust me as you will only have a side stand on a convert where abouts are you from then?
