    CDI
    Exhaust
    Shock??
    Brake cable


    best bet is to buy a typh or SR as a donor bike. to be honest, i would just ride an R, handle much better than a speedfight and imo look better.

    reckon i should buy a cheap SR or typh then?

    i have a speedfight already, engine is knackered, so i want to stick in a 125 engine

    your gonna need an sr shock like wobbly said, and then have to weld a mount higher up on the frame

    personally i would flog the speedfight and get a typh or SR, but if you want to go ahead with the conversion then an accident damaged SR or typh would be perfect. even a runner would work, you could put an AC top end on it and have a disc rear brake.

    but the adaptor kit you get, you get this thing to use for the shock on the speedy, so it should be ok

    yeh but it puts the engine at a weird angle, personally i think its better to weld a mount on instead of use the kit, just my preference

    a new hole can be drilled in the adaptor and a chunk ground off if hight is an issue. remember these kits are ment for 50 engines so probably arnt strong enuff for a 125 so keep a close eye out for fatigue/stress fractures/cracks on evetry bit of the mount weekly atleast
