Re: Joe's Typhoon 125 project =D

Seriously, get some pans onit, get a mot & tax then blat it up the road, youll soon get used to it, took me about 10-15miles from mine to the local arco to get used to mine when it was a standard 172

you deffo aint gunna get used to it just throttling it for 10yards

 

Re: Joe's Typhoon 125 project =D

cant mate i would if it was M.O.T passable

head light and handle bar lights work but the indis dont and the brake light works when it wants too. Haynes manual dont tell you much on the topis either :this:

ill have to find the problem and then its ready for M.O.T

 

Re: Joe's Typhoon 125 project =D

check the cables in the loom they might of got damaged or worn out ive had a few typhs looms that needed work now. whats the plans with the pans then? you will get used to the power but it will still be fun for a long time you will love the typh in the twistys they handle so good

 

Re: Joe's Typhoon 125 project =D

Think ive fixed it, loose conection lol.

The pannels will be sanded down and be staying silver for the time being, summer time is when ill re-spray them (not decided on colour but i love minnors colour haha)

Cant wait to get it legal on road to have a real blast etc, and yer ive heard they handle well =)

 

Re: Joe's Typhoon 125 project =D

Everything there/ what condition they in and can i have pics of them ?

Moneys waiting, also if your selling them forks haha ill have them.

 

Re: Joe's Typhoon 125 project =D

hmmm yes true, my pannels are abit batterd but repairable, decisions decisions....

ok ill finish sanding mine tomorrow and see whether or not mine are worth keeping, if they are i may have a bash at painting them myself, but seeing your work makes me want you to paint them :grin:

otherwise ill have pollys pans lol, think ill keep my crappy downwards forks for now i guess :blush:

cheers pal :thumbsup:

(next update on the ped is tuesday)

 

Re: Joe's Typhoon 125 project =D

lugs on the back pans are fine. front pannel lugs are raped, and the pannels in a shite state! im gonna look for a new front pannel and when i have 1 ill send them all (3) down to you ?

or have you got a front pan ?

or name me a price for the pink pans swapped for mine with money on top. (could swap a decent set of runner pannels for yours aswell, i have pics of both typhoon and runner pannels.)

 

Re: Joe's Typhoon 125 project =D
