Anyone for Cheese? - Starter Clutch Buffer Pieces

As you may know the rubber bushing in the starter clutch mechanism can break down after many years. As I've got a Dart and a Coguaro I have investigated a replacement for this manufactured from the material originally specified by Ing. Lambertini i.e. Vulkollan 90. The pieces have been produced from...

Re: Scotland - Glen Coe meet September 2022

I'd love to be there this weekend but like the AGM weekend other commitments have got in the way!! Shame really as I would have loved to have shown my Morini jumper off in the Glen again! Many happy memories of the Scottish Rallies in the 80's alternating the long distance award with Rob Kenton. Hav...

Tank Problems

Having taken off the bodywork to try and find why the Coguaro won't run properly - checking for splits etc - I found a rather large bubble in the paintwork. On lancing the boil it was full of fuel. It looks as though the leak is from the weld on the mounting bracket. Anyone have experience of gettin...

South East Meet Up

Thanks to Steve for organising the meet up at Eridge this evening. It was great to meet fellow Moriniists and chat bikes! My humblest apologies for arriving by Fiat but that's another story. It seems that the Morini count exceeded the Laverda contingent! Let's see if I can get a Morini running for n...

Re: 2022 Chairmans run

I was looking forward to having a day out but have been advised by higher authorities that my services are required to go to Heathrow.

Hope to see you at Cadwell or AGM.

Enjoy the day one and all!!

Nuts!!

Anyone have a die nut to run down the exhaust nuts on a 3 1/2? I checked back through the forums and a couple of people tried this and wondered how they got on.

Speedometer Cable Outer

Has anyone got a speedo cable outer that they are willing to part with? I went to put the speedo cable back on the Strada and found that somehow the outer casing had got stretched so when it is flexed the inner drive cable didn't engage with the speedo.

Handlebars

Evening all, Here's a query for your opinion and experience - and something that may be as contentious as which oil should I use!! When I first got my Strada (1983) one of the first things I did was to fit rearsets and inverted drop bars. For me at 6'1" it gave a very comfortable position. Now ...

Re: New Style Starter - Part Wanted

Hi Julian, Thanks for the info. I was lucky and Tom F had one that he has let me have. I have also obtained a 3D printed item in Vulcollan from a guy in Italy that he had made by a friend. It is currently installed in the Coguaro but due to 'the current situation' and the poor weather I haven't been...
