    Right, ive been gone for quite a while on here, Basically I sold the Gilly ICE a few months back. Simply because somebody on an R6 decided to crash into my NC29 and write it off for me. :(
    I then went on to buy an NC30. Which I killed the engine on after a few weeks through doing stand up wheelies on the motorway for long periods of time.

    NC30 + long wheelies = BANG. :(

    Ive been building an engine out of parts ive collected for the NC30. I intend to get it running sweet and sell it on come 2008. Im moving into a new flat with no garage in Feb so I dont really want to be leaving a bike out in the street. Atleast with a scooter I can stick it in the hall way. :pimp:

    This is my plan.

    To buy another Gilly ICE. Fit NRG Front wheel. Liquid Cooled Runner lump. possibly 172 it. Either way its going to be for fast road riding. Probably not stunting although It will more than likely spend most of its road life on one wheel. ;)

    This is what I want to build.

    What mods are to be done to fit this block? or does it have the same mounts as the AC version.

    well if you go for a typhoon or sr125 engine they are ac so no messing with cooling the sr125 engine goes in with i think no grinding or anything more or less straight swap, little filing on shock mount then ice shock will go on then just need all 125 bits. loom to mod.

    but VERY vulnerable, especially when you want to do fast road riding.......

    and where do you think radiators are mounted on big bikes like my NC30?
    A bike capable of 130mph.

    Right behind the front wheel. :cool:

    Id fit a fender-extender on the front and also a stone guard on the rad. :)
