Julian owned a magni + a veloce too.

Hi Jen, I spoke to the owner of the 500 Morini, he told me he had got it from Denmark. Somebody may know the bike or him ? Unfortunately I’ve forgotten his name but he said he also has a MV Augusta 750S. I was parked in the garden area, red Laverda Jarama sporting a red tank bag. I left just after ...

Word of warning, surprisingly the 500 and 3 1/2 woodruff keys are different sizes. Details in the respective parts books. The 3 1/2 size is widely available, the 500 less so. I ended up lapping an oversize one to fit. Can't check details of correct size, or what I ordered atm as I'm away from home. ...

Sorted, thanks.

This is the drive that fits on the end of the cam for later 3 1/2 and 500s (and possibly other models of that era). The connection pin which slots into the end of the cam has parted ways on my 500 SEI. If anyone has one spare, or knows a way of repairing I would be grateful. I will be at the track d...

I bought my current 500 after finishing w**k, so only fun in my life now. I bought my first 500 in 1981 when a student (even more fun then!), but it was stolen and broken. The police caught the gang who stole it and I bought back the recovered parts (most of the bike) and built a bitsa whilst commut...

Must admit, I didn't think about material strength, but casting my mind back 40+ years to when I studied strength of materials, the cast aluminium boss of the fork leg and disk caliper are going to be more prone to fracture than the threaded section of an A4 stainless steal bolt, they aren't that ma...

The parts list shows all oil seal dimensions. The screenshot you attached matches the parts list. 3547/7 4 off

Should be available from bearing factors.

That's lateral thinking George. Great info. I am now sorted, borrowing one from Ian and getting a pair of stainless stepped bolts machined.

Hi Jen, yes that's the setup. Bottom bolt is m10 x 1 25, top bolt is stepped. A previous owner had welded a stud onto the shank. This was a bit wonky and broke when refitting the caliper after a tyre change. I'm getting one made up, not hard as Norbert said, but I don't own a lathe and was hoping so...

Steve, I have a plan B to get a new bolt made, but have to wait until next week before this can be done. Won't be able to make it to Erwood on Sunday unless I come by car.

Wanted - The stepped bolt that fastens the Grimeca caliper to the fork. Previous owner has welded a stud to the end of the stepped section, the weld has snapped when taking the caliper off to remove the wheel to change a tyre (does get a bit like a hole in my bucket I know). Mdina don't list them an...

Steve, typing under the influence whilst in France with friends. For clarification, I will be there next Thurs unless weather really bad. Will try to make April too, diary currently clear!!

Will come along this month Steve.

I will be there.

See you soon!
