Re: Engine cover finish

I had mine done in random satin and it looked great.
There's no sense in labouring over any original finishes on these bikes as they vary far too much.

Re: New 3 1/2 at Eicma show

Well, that is quite amazing, I must say. Modern enough, but not as divisively styled nor angular as the worst offenders. Design-wise, it seems to share DNA with that particular vintage Sport behind it, but my old K1 would look different again. I'd say, congratulations and it could have gone so wrong.

Also, please note there are two very different calipers depending on your bike's year.

Slight diversion - the original sump plugs say use Castrol GTX on the bottom.

My brand new solenoid came from a Ski-Doo dealer in canada. Maybe these cross-references from ePay will make it easier.

Re: Cast wheel colour id

Based on the likelihood that any gold would have done for Grimeca (as well as any red for Moto Morini) I plumbed for "Spanish Gold". RAL-schmal. Mine were so faded they looked "nappy tan" beforehand but - as you can see - they looked fantastic when finished. https://i.ibb.co/0jX9...

Re: Fly Screen

I used a plain, clear Givi on mine, no trouble. Maybe they've changed their offerings since then.

Re: H4 bulbs can I swap for an LED bulb

Wow, thank you so much for organizing that.
So even if you tilted the headlight up for main beam, your dip would be way too high, would it?

Re: A question of forks

Mdina Italia is also listing fork tops, for future use.

I'm sure classicandvintage are lovely folks but to a point Mdina depends on us and we on them!
