    Re: Joe's Typhoon 125 project =D

    i think standard 172 typhs are kinda slow comared to runners... but with all the bolt ons a typh is nicer :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

    gotta love the gloss black typhs aswell :cheers:

    i just need some nice forks on mine so it actually feels good to ride then it will be a good bike...

    the nuts and screws holding the fan cover on ive ALWAYS had trouble getting from piaggio (most local dealers swear they dont exist :confused:) you can however buy some long nuts and matching screws from a hardware shop, you may have to cut them but anywhere decent will have exactly what your after. there verry common tbh. just need a 20mm long m8 nut and some 10mm long m8 bolts...

    stock typh is shit due to the stator... throw a wc stator and cdi on and it out performs a runner engine (they have better cylinders stock and they had to fuck wiht the timing/ignition to bring the power down a bit so it didnt out perform the runner.... LOL)

    Wait aren't you on about the cylinder cover bolts? They are a pretty easy bolt to find... The nuts they screw into though are a pain in the arse.
