    This is my new beast am building I've had a gilera ice 50cc sports sitting around for a while ( Mallosi 50cc sports cylinder )
    Was going to do a 70cc build with it but I've basically done one before .

    But always wanted a 172 and wanted to build one so decided why not. managed to get a piaggio typhoon small drum 125 engine cases for a bargain in good condition .

    Managed to also get my hands on a malossi 52mm race crank the next day of gumtree. Split the cases which I don't know why he put them back together again and dropped the crank in no problems .

    Next thing was getting the wiring I went for a 125 sp loom with I got in very good condition . Came with alarm and electric start already wired into the loom with was a bonus .
    Already done most of the loom conversion already first time ever doing it thought it was going to be hard but was pretty str8 forward. Only thing left to do is figure out how to wire my gilera ice handle bar switches into the loom and my spedo wire since its digital .
    Picked up a a full Stator set up with pick up and everything this weekend and got that fitted to the case so getting closer .

    So all that's needed left to get is a gear box
    Clutch and variator set up don't know what to go for as of yet
    And the actual 172 kit still not sure what am going to go with yet but there's a pm tuning kit for sale so may go pick that up.
    Reeds and carb.

    So far I've modified the gilera ices 50cc mount to fit the engine it's a pretty nice fit but am going to give the 125 mount a try just need to measure up the mounts from my vx to see . Because the ice mount don't look to strong .
    How I got it.

    Make up a silent block/engine mount setup just like the runner or typhoon 125 or it will vibrate like a twat! Bodging the engine onto 50cc mounts is not the way to do it !

    The vx is a 4t, it's different, the Italjet dragster 125 is the easiest to copy/ make up.
