That does help. I was trying not to modify the original linkage in case someone needs these parts. I'll hit my motorcycle wrecking yard today. Thanks.

78 350 Sport, US Model with LH shifting So I'm converting to rearsets and right hand shifting. My actuating arm at the gearbox is longer and goes to the inside between the engine and frame where the old mechanism links to it. I need it to be shorter and directly below the shift shaft. Is there any c...

I've got a 500 dual seat that came extra with my 3 /12 and no use for it. It has one damaged spot but in good condition.

Greetings from Albuquerque! Post pics!

Tach is electronic and it has a bent needle from the heat. Not mission critical right now. I disassembled the speedo and lubed everything. Can seem to see any fault with it. Haven't tested it but spinning it by hand, the needle still jumps about wildly. Last couple of days, I went to service the for...

Ordered! Thank you!

I need fork seals and dust boots as well as one boot clamp for my 78 Sport. Looking online it seems all the listings are for 1980 and on. Is there a supplier in the US for these parts and if not, who is the preferred supplier. Do these same parts for a Ducati or anything else so I can be sure I've g...

Spending $165 to get the seat recovered locally. I will probably try to get an original looking seat later. Tires are my current quandary. I have seen all the discussion on the topic. It's got Bridgestone Battleax on it. 100 front and 110 rear. The date code on them is from 2001. They look ok but I ...

And on the right, another rod to the actuate the shifter...

Shifter on the left, mounted probably where a brake lever would go, moves a lever on the backside that operates a bell crank at the front of the motor.

For those wondering...
Bell Crank on the front of the frame that transfers shift lever action from left to right. Picture of each side to follow. Hopefully.

RH shifting is how it was designed. I took some pics of the arrangement but having trouble getting them small enough to post. I'll work on that. Either way, it looks like an add on that detracts from such a functional bike, it's not the way it was designed. Just the way some politician wanted it. I ...

Hello Monstrodamus, Left hand shifting was produced by Moto Morini for USA market like some other particular features.( bigger headlamp and indicators with reflector) Those bikes also have a black dot on the rear wheel shoe holder. Could you tell us what it is? It's got a rear disc and the caliper ...

MotoM.jpeg I fell in love 20 years ago with a 78 Morini 3 1/2 that a relative owned. He was an importer and rider of trials bikes. Followed along as he died and left it to his kid who rode it for a bit and left it to die in his backyard. Drunk dialed him one night last year and made a deal to buy i...
