Re: Fitting longer shocks

Thanks Steve, just the experience needed. Time to look around the limited range of short shocks. I note Hagon are often mentioned on the forum. Not sure how much they have been developed since the 1980's Girling gas which I fitted back in the day to a Honda.

Fitting longer shocks

I need to replace my Marzocchi piggyback shocks. These are 320mm long, I have read on the forum that 312mm was the length of the OEM shocks. I have been very pleased with the ride and price of NJB Ultimate shocks which I fitted to a Laverda 750, but the shortest length for these is 330mm. Going from...

Re: Manuals

Thanks Hendre. Mick, I bought my first Morini in 1980. That got nicked in '83, bought a Le Mans, then built a Morini bitsa from the salvage the police recovered of my original one, rode that until '92, so this is my third if you discount that I had previously owned half of the 2nd. Can't stop going ...

Re: NLM ignition won't light strobe

Thanks for the replies. I had been thinking along the lines of the HT side (forgetting to mention NGK 5K ohm caps and BP8ES plugs which had been gapped), but it turns out at least with my strobe, it is the DC side. Connecting to the Laverda battery and Morini HT lead it strobes. Morini battery is br...

NLM ignition won't light strobe

I have recently returned to Morini ownership after a 30 year break, having bought an '83 500 Sei, which I am delighted with. The engine was rebuilt by a previous owner in 2014 and an NLM ignition fitted in 2015, only 59 miles recorded since 2014 MOT. I changed the oil and cambelt and put on 500 mile...
