I have used this long established business for classic car and bike trim, including tank and fairing edge trim. They are based five minutes from J27 M5 (Somerset) and offer postal sales, historically they have provided small sections as samples.

Re: Starter motor not engaging engine not turning
I did not get my shoes re lined on the premise that after forty plus years there was probably some wear where they pivot on the three mounting posts and with new shoes you also got new springs. Having replaced all the bearings, seals and the bronze gear my attitude was to renew all parts (including ...

Re: Starter motor not engaging engine not turning
Having just rebuilt my starter motor I explored options to reline or replace the shoes. In January 2023 either Saftek or Villiers will reline them for £35 + VAT. Doug at MDINA will sell you a new second generation ( heavier and more efficient ) set for approaching £100 ( less if you are a MRC member...

Re: Downpipes for a Strada
My Sport came with Armour SS system fitted. They produce a less 'bright' exhaust note to standard pipes and obviously being stainless are not as shiny as the originals. The only gaskets, as per the originals, are between downpipes and exhaust ports on the cylinder heads. I believe a forum search wil...

Re: Battery, 350K
Mark, I have a 1981 electric start K with a factory original battery tray and when I had to replace my Exide 51913 GEL battery In October 2021 I also used Tayna.

Re: Time to launch the bloody thing...
You have to wonder how seriously Moto Morini regard the British new motorcycle market. Originally listed as an exhibitor at the upcoming NEC motorcycle show, their name has now been removed and presumably will not be attending as a manufacturer. Perhaps MM need to reflect on the signal that is sendi...

Re: Think I'm going to admit defeat.........
So glad to hear of your progress Andy, as I mentioned on the day if you go down the Venhill route it may pay to research this forum for other posters experiences regarding the length appropriate to your model.

'B' Camshaft Pulley
Please can anybody supply me with an air cooled V twin unstamped or 'B' stamped camshaft pulley with a 4mm keyway. This is for use on a 350cc engine but I understand this may be a common part across the capacities (stand to be corrected). Thank you in anticipation.

Re: Capless idiot light bulb size
FWIW from the source of my prior post on LED's: 'The regulations seem to have changed again: From 22 March 2021, we’re changing these rules so that not all motorcycles and vehicles will fail the MOT test if their halogen headlamp units have been converted to be used with HID or LED bulbs. Class 1 an...

Re: FRONT BRAKE Update
Hi Seagreen, I was in a similar situation in 2020 and fed up with a wooden front disc brake ( standard system with single front disc ) I took the advice of other forum members and searched the bay. Purchased a pattern Suzuki GS/GN 125 and GN250 DK from a Chinese supplier circa £10 delivered, and it ...

Re: fuel line
Dunk1, If you are still looking for Ethanol resistant fuel lines take a look at Codan SAE J30 R9. In 2015 I was on a similar quest and eventually bought the Codan product. It is not cheap but if memory serves me well it was about £5 a metre from an aircooled VW car website (I.D. for VW and MM simila...

Re: Capless idiot light bulb size
Good evening Mark, I do not disagree with your logic. I posted the 2021 MOT change to allow members to see the extent of the new requirements. If they never were halogen on leaving the production line it would appear the new regulations authors never considered that scenario would apply to 2021 MOT'...
