Typhoon 125 Wreck to Riches

Hi guys

Just bought a Piaggio Typhoon 125 on a Y reg. I bought it cheap with the intention on doing it up.
It needs the following parts:

Rear Panel Set
Front Brake system (Current one is off a gsxr and the hose is about 3m too long)
AIr Box
Throttle Kit

So far I have got the panels, front brake system

I will post pics as I go

well she is back together with odd panels as the old ones are getting sprayed.

I need to take the engine out and give it a good clean but it's getting mot saturday so will do it after.

Anyone know the process of converting this engine to disc brake and what I need?

 

will be good when done keep us up to date mate, was lookin at getting one of these.

 

cool :good: must make a start on doing something with mine instead of riding it into the ground :blush:

 

picked up a set of nrg forks with a mint front wheel and caliper so will be putting them on tomorrow.

Also bought a nrg front panel and inner panel so that will be getting sprayed with the other panels.

My mate wants to do it the new Ford Focus RS green what you think?

 

nice project keep us updated, and focus rs green would look mint with black wheels

 

so today fitted some yellow panels while i wait for a quote for the rs green.

I also ordered the rear disc set up so can't wait for that to turn up and fit it.

Taken the exhaust off to sand down and resray then when my brake set up comes I will take the engine out and clean it right up.

 

cheers mate yeah the vtr is nice but its been sat a few months, people say why i gone back to a scooter the reason why is it's so much easier getting the scoot out and riding close distance. I'll keep the vtr for nice Sunday runs and sounds good with the twin blue flame which was a steal off ebay for £70 with hi level pipes

 

lol at the rim tape, i like it yellow

 

i know the rim tape is shocking.

Just got a quote for the wheels to be powder coated white and then have a yellow rim tape so will be doing that next week.

Ok mate I will do
