    Damn I hate to see an MC3 get butcherd!

    But anyways I hope it turns out well for ya, if you do it properly the work will pay off and your'll have an even rarer NRG MC3 125.

    Im liking the redbull endcan on the pipe, looks the bizz.

    Are you using 125 engine mounts or have you adapted 50 mounts to accept a 125 lump?

    Ive adapted the 50 mount but ive ordered a typh 125 mount to see what i can do with that... the 50 mount fitted pukka with a bitr of grinding but i wanna try the 125 mount for peace of mind see if i can make it fit without being a cowboy about it

    I dont think 125 mounts will fit a 50 frame without some serious modification to the frame.
    If you end up back with the 50 mounts be careful, because that engine will twist, turn & buckle them eventually as they were only designed for a 6bhp engine and are now holding an engine 3-4 times more powerful than it was designed for.

    Keep us updated, would be nice to see how it looks in the end.
