    don't bother

    you have to adapt your stock mounts and in the end you are better just to wait and get a 125 typh.

    the typh 50 is designed to do 30mph, already you are pushing 60+. with a 125 motor you may get 70, but you will upset the geometry and chances are the bike will end up at best lightly damaged, at worst you will a. hit somone or b. be reported for riding a 125. this is an automatic 6 points if the police feel so inclined.

    3 points for using a vehicle which you are not liscenced for, and 3 for riding without or with null & void insurance. then they can do you for whatever else they can find.

    imo not worth it.

    125 bolts into a modded 50 engine mount, problem is you need a 125 wiring loom,cdi/coi and you have to mod te mount, easier gtting a 125 in the first place
