Italjohn's Typhoon project 172

you cant beat a bit of stealth...to wipe the smile off the chavs faces imp:

when i 1st put my 2.1 engine in my capri, i ran around with the 1.6 badge still on the tailgate for a few months...had some fun with that one

 

u can beat that the smile on peoples face :msn1:

 

Finaly the box from Scooter-Center has arrived.
Any one wants to know whats inside?
Notis the refurbish rear shock

 

Is it a set of rollers? :w00t:

 

Nope no rollers, just some new panels, front fork, airfilters, speedowire, brake levers + some bits and pieces

 

how much were them forks :msn1:

 

Well, not for free thats for sure. £200,-

 

would they fit a nrg?

 

yh shold do they r just like vx forks wat r the quality of the panels like

 

The panels is original Piaggio, and feels like it to :nerd:
Very good quality

 

because i was goin to order a front left indicoator panel for my runner

 

if only santa claus left a box like that under my christmas tree

nice one john...looks like your getting stuck in to the project now

 

Looking Very Nice, Didn't realise the Nrg front wheel couldn't be used with the typh forks though....

 

yh its looking good cant wait to see it all done

 

looking good project mate!
keep share some pics :w00t:

 

You can use a NRG front wheel on the Typh. fork if the brakedisk has 3 screws.
Mine has 5 screws, and the disk is bigger than the 3 screw version.



Other difference is the speedoconnection, and the shape of the fork where it sould look up.

 

I have also been playing a little with polishing.
This is time-consuming work!!!!!

 

It turned out the my Typhoon has been stolen from the previous owner, and the steering loock has been busted.
This has been welded crooked, so I have to cut it loose, and are now on my way to get this fixed correctly. I'm also got my self a new set of loocks and keys.

 

nice to see its not just Britain where scooters get nicked imp:

 

i think london is the worst place for scooter crime in the world most probley
