Re: Reinstating the electric starter

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

Re: Strada Headlamp bracket straps

These are really generic parts used on heaps of bikes - just widen your search terms.

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

Thanks for that-I’ve looked but the ones I’ve seen appear to need cutting etc which could be done, but as our bikes’ seem fairly conventional around the headlight area I’m hoping to find one that doesn’t. Long shot but if you’ve kept the Givi number that would be awesome 🤩 I might be able to find o...

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?

Cheers, DD

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!

Re: Repainting

Hi The 'chrome' strips have been discussed on here previously. IIRC they can be sourced from a firm ca!!ed Phoenix at Uffculme near Cullompton. If I find the topic I will edit this to include their site address. Edit: Phoenixtrim.co.uk Alex TBH, I remember reading that the almost-exact chrome strip...

Re: H4 bulbs can I swap for an LED bulb

Wow, quite a difference. I'd be curious to see the pattern it makes on the road, too, if you wouldn't mind?
Jolly good! :lol:

Re: Fuel taps and correct usage thereof

I call the Speedo a forward movement indicator. I checked with my mobile phone and when the forward movement indicator said I was doing something between 50 and 70 I was actually doing 45mph I found that a new, well-greased cable and careful attention to routing made a huge difference to the needle...

Re: Sump plug

Just to add my input, I've used Bridgestone BT45 and 46s on mine and they are absolutely superb. Never the slightest slip in all weathers.
That's on NZ roads anyway so I guess your roads may be the same stuff?

Re: H4 bulbs can I swap for an LED bulb

Thanks Steve I will put an order in for a new H4 LEB bulb from Paul Goff plus an LED tail/stop bulb. Be aware of my experience with the rear ones. As they shine directly at the back of the reflector, I found that due to the nature of LEDs, I was getting little or no light off to the sides and preci...

Re: Rear sets.

Tarozzi parts are sold all over the world, if your nearest seller doesn't have them, somebody else probably will.
