Re: Left side shift

Thanks, I'd like to see more of your conversion. The picture you posted is cropped and I only see the front wheel.

Re: Left side shift

Thanks for the reply. I'd be very interested to purchase the parts to convert to left side shift. If anyone can help
just let me know what you need for parts and postage to USA.

I'm sure I could learn to right shift but I'll only ride the Morini once in a while so it would always be an effort.

Left side shift

Hello all, I am refurbishing a 75 Strada and plan to have it on the road for Spring. I have read that some bikes were sold with a left side shift conversion. If this is true, does anyone know where I can source the parts to convert my Strada ? Is this a realistic thing to do ? I've ridden for 30 yea...

Re: Strada tank decals

The photo posted here is my 1975 Strada. I purchased the tank decals and had them applied by Marbles Motors when they did my paint job. They clear coated over the decals and the job looks great ! The badges are the chromed metal and enamel reproductions from New Zealand. These are also a very nice p...

3 1/2 exhaust pipes

Hello to all, What are the options for new exhaust pipes for the 3 1/2 ? I contacted Armour Motor products in the UK back in September to order their stainless pipes. I was told they are out of stock and can not say when they will make more. I emailed them a few weeks ago for an update but have rece...

Re: Morini 3 1/2 tires

Thank you to everyone for your opinions and info. I ordered the Roadriders today and went with the 90/90 up front. I'm sure either size would be fine but the lighter feel and look sounds best for me. I've had my hubs vapor blasted and laced up with stainless spokes to new Borrani rims. Buchanan spok...

What are the opinions on 90/90 vs 100/90 for the front ? On the rear l plan to use 110/90. The bike is a...

Cylinder head "blanks"

Hello all, My 1975 Strada was sold with a few crates of spare parts. Included was a pair of NOS cylinder heads still wrapped in very old brown paper and tied up with twine. Well I recently unwrapped one to check it out and was surprised at what I found. The heads are new and perfect except that they...

Re: Early turn signals

Thanks for the info. I want to keep my bike as original as possible. My indicators work and aren't cracked. It's just that the chrome is peeling a bit.

Early turn signals

Greetings to all. I'm new to the forum and the new owner of a 1975 Moto Morini 3 1/2 Strada. My bike is an early 11/74 build, USA model. I'm going to have a number of questions as I refurbish this motorcycle. My first question is about the turn signals. Mine have a set screw on the back side and cla...
