Re: 1985 Moto Morini 501 Camel - For Sale

Hi Steve,
I would recommend the Hagon shock, just bought and fitted one to a Gilera RC600 that sneaked into my bike house, the shock is nicely made and finished with (on an RC adjustment for sag and damping) I have 2 other Gilera's keeping the Morini and XR company.

Re: New Member

Hi Paul,
I liked your introduction - that line must go down well at an interview :roll: at least if you get problems with your bike your list of mates should be able to sort you out.
Look forward to reading more of your escapades

Re: clutch spring tool

Hi Simon,
Make a tool like a large slotted screwdriver, easy peasy :D
If you want to remove the drum you need another tool to hold the clutch drum to allow you to loose the center nut also make-able if you have a workshop
