WANTED- a Strada top yoke. If I can find one of these there is a chance my bike can be bought by a good mate local to me. I have ordered him NOT to drill the Sport yoke for handlebar clamps!
Happy to swap my Sport top yoke if that helps?

Hi Steve.

If you find a Strada top yoke, will it mean that your rearsets will be for sale?

TimBell1962 is looking for a set.

If you struggle to find a Strada top yoke, there is the option of swan neck clip-on's.

If you get really desperate, I have a Marzocchi top yoke which is the type that requires rubber mounted handlebar clamps. It's not a Morini one, probably Benelli or something, but is what was on my 3½ when I bought it.

There have been Sradas with rigide top yokes and with the Rubber mounts

Oh yes, you are right Norbert.

There are early Morini Strada top yokes that had rubber mounted handlebar clamps. The yoke I have requires bigger clamps than those on the Morini yokes. If I can find it tomorrow I will post a photo, and hopefully find an image of the Morini type, to show the difference.

Well, as promised, here is a parts book image of the Morini Strada top yoke with separate handlebar mounts, and a couple of photos of the yoke that was on my 3½ when I bought it.

If anyone happens to know what bike, or bikes, that yoke would have originally been fitted to, I'd be interested to hear.

Sorry but I missed this altogether Jenny! I'm sorted for a top yoke, got a standard one from Ian Lucas. I still have the rearsets fitted although they will be coming off soon. I am currently trying to fabricate some foot controls to place my feet where the 76 models originally were (approx)
Sadly the brake pedal pivot was sawn off the frame when the bike was with Andy Mc C. I don't fancy taking the engine out to weld another on, so I'm planning a pivot fixed to the footrest itself-a bit like the gear linkage for that 76 model too. Obviously nobody has any 76 model foot controls to offer!
