It looks like I'll be needing a few bits for the little V:

Brake pedal (left hand)
Gear lever (right hand)

Possibly a set of exhaust pipes, definitely a right hand silencer.

If anyone has anything mentioned above (or just available), please let me know.

Don't know if it's of use here, but I've just come across a recent post in ' Tre e Mezzo' under the title ' Colander Tank' which mentions a company in India that will produce tanks in steel, fibreglass or aluminium if given a sample. Might be worth a look?

More pics: Standard collets fit both nuts with no problem.

Some progress, or should that be regression? Took the silencer off, it looked to be in good condition from the chrome but when I turned it over it was rusted through at the back, then the baffles fell out in dozens of bits from the inlet! The 2 into 1 exhaust is definitely home brewed, the front pip...

1st job - change the cam belt. 1st problem - the flywheel nut had been tightened with a hammer and chisel, but with a bit of filing I got a socket on and it wasn't very tight. 2nd problem - one of the hammer blows had deformed the lip of the flywheel so I couldn't get the puller in, luckily the flyw...

If it's a 'home-brew' the exhaust system looks pretty good. I think the bars are original - though in an upright position. The foot controls appear to have been cut in half and re-welded to be shorter ( :? ), the plastic instrument console has split (don't they all) and the fuel tank appears to leak...

Well - look what just turned up!
Looks pretty complete with new tyres too, missing the key to the fuel tank though.

The ignition coil is relatively simple to rewind, if a bit fiddly. Have a look on the Dutch Moto Morini site, there is an article on there about it. (motomoriniclub.nl)
If you want to remagnetise your rotor, try a scooter mechanic, they have a similar system.

350Sport.jpg Strada resize.jpg This started many years ago as a 'Sport' bought from NLM, after several years I dveloped back problems and in a brainstorm decided to return it to the original Strada spec (big mistake!) 8 years later I've finally got her running again (no big deal, she was in big bit...

Thanks for that - however, I think I've sorted it. Along the top tube right side, through the forks and loop over the brake lever in a generous arc.
Anyway, fired up OK yesterday and seems to run OK like that (though I still have the tank, instruments and headlight to mount).

Do you mean the connections to the original Decatielettronica regulator (as described by Paul - I think), or a more modern regulator? I have a Boyer Bransden 'Power Box', the connections to which are: 2 yellow to the ac input and leave the red isolated and tied back. I may have a wiring diagram, I'l...

Sounds as if it was not too happy! I have found that a Suzuki SV / Bergman reg rec is about the same, but needs the connector changed to fit the Kokusan orientation (and it's freely available).

Hello folks, despite searching I can't find the following info: I'm rebuilding a Strada (only taken about 8 years so far :oops: ) and am at the throttle cable stage. I have a twin pull twistgrip and could do with a picture of a typical cable run, so if anyone has their tank off at the moment I'd be ...

Keep on 'perfecting' - in my experience the off-roaders (well, Kanguros anyway), are really comfortable bikes and handle well, too.
If I could find a good electric-start one I'd snap it up.

You mention it's a US import - I think they may have been jetted differently. Have you looked on the Dutch website?
