Tyre Sizes

So, first ride out on my new (to me) 350 Sport (1977, alloy wheels) and apart from burning a hole in my jeans for the left pipe (rearsets, no heatshield) all went well. Only after did I look at the tyre sizes. Now I know that originally it will have been 3.25 & 4.10 x 18 and that these don't tra...

Re: 350 Sport for sale

Is this still for sale. I have a mate who has fallen in love with my bike! I need to fend him off with some others!

Re: The right helmet for a Strada

The right look for a 70s Morini would be a Griffin Clubman or Kangol Falcon (both of which I had) with a visor held on by press studs. No thanks, I'll stick to my nicely fitting Arai. I think any decent modern full face would look fine but if you want to look in keeping go for a classic plain colour...

Re:

Red light: Prior to the electric start models, there was no oil pressure switch on Morini's - I recall it was introduced with the 500 in 1978 (4 warning lights), and then on the 350's later. On non electric start models this light simply served notice that you had turned the ignition on (as if the ...

It hasn't been on the road since an NLM rebuild in 2010 (hence the need for a new belt despite no miles on this one) so I'm sure I will have several problems thank you.

Flywheel Holder

I don't suppose anyone in the Midlands has one I could borrow for about 10 minutes! 1977 350 Sport - no electric start. I've tried locking the bike in gear (clutch not holding enough) and a strap wrench on the flywheel but to no joy. Need to do a cambelt change so I can send my friend his puller back!

Re: Welcome new forum members - introduce yourself

^^ What he said.

Even if you're worried about the lack of lead in duel you can't replace lead with octane! Unless you can find really expensive fuel with no ethanol I can't see the point.

Re: Kanguro X2 For sale.

I have been doing a few lanes but mainly alone :( as I'm at work on the weekends now so finding retired trail riders willing to go slow and not orange seems difficult. Well I fit the description but the bike is still in the queue for work. Sadly I am away for the next 2 weeks (doing a strange 2 on/...

Re: Kanguro X2 For sale.

What?? Selling it? We never went out on the lanes. What are you going to use for the TRF runs? Incidentally, are you going to put it on the E Mids TRF site?
