    Hello.

    I have came across this picture, and it seem like a 125 with NRG wheels?
    How did he do this? I have heard that this can't be done?

    Like Stevo said. Nothing to do with boost.

    It's the silver dream racer runner and these are the wheels that are on it.

    yeah its a common problem when you fit vx forks on to a non vx runner!!

    The vx forks are longer...so the centre stand is a little short...

    The problems even worse on a 50 with vx forks...as the 50 forks are shorter still :D

    yeah the back wheel dont come off the floor on a sp with vx forks...which is ok most of the time!!

    But a bit dodgy on uneven ground :D

    actually the nrg wheel in the vx forks.. its 13" as the runner front is 12" means you need an inch of wood under the stand ;)

    No, You dont need wood under the stand when fitting VX forks to an SP.
    He must have some other modification or a hijacking kit. making it uneven.
    Ive NEver once experienced the mainstand not reaching with any of the runners Ive had. Sure its the same for everyone else.

    To sum up and give you facts..
    You can fit front NRG to runner 125. Not rear. Unless its an older drum engine.

    Ok I understand that now.
    And I would love to have NRG rear wheel on my Typhoon and Runner.
    I have a series 1 engine in my Typhoon, and a NRG rear wheel with drum fits right on. But I'm waiting for a series 2 engine from UK in a week or two, and this I will convert to rear diskbrake. I will have to track down a 125 Runner rear wheel for this then.
    Any one have one for sale?

    Any body know if a rear VX 125 4 stroke rim will fit a FX 125 2 stroke engine?
