That's good to hear-I expect a rush on the new stock and hope there are plenty being made!

That's a surprise and obviously a disappointment too. Mine is really rather good but in a round headlamp without any adaptor bits needed. Tom, if you are retiring your daylighter I'd be happy to try it in my bikes, in the interests of research obvs. I can try in the Camel rectangular lamp and variou...

Hi Mark, yes the return spring is fitted around the stand pivot tube. If you have a good look at the parts list I sent you it should become clear-that's how I worked it out!

Yep, those are the ones you need!

I've only ever seen the Surflex as fitted originally. They are good and last well. I bought a set for the V twins not long ago and was pleased with the results. The set contained steel plates including the dished one which is important for a decent clutch action.

The plate Mark refers to above is a right angled piece of metal that look like a bracket to us uneducated types. It works by magic to stop the voltage produced by that coil. Yours is missing and as you said earlier your new coil was 470 ohms! So it was always likely to cause trouble and burn out eit...

I have a few of those-if you definitely mean the older cast type and not the laminated ones? No idea what post from UK would be. I found with some used examples of these that the pivot holes were worn, hard to see by eye but easy to detect by rattle! The pivot posts wear too of course. In the end I ...

I prefer the status quo. I've seen other forums divided up as you suggest and I find them too 'bitty'. I check the 350 and 500 sections along with the Green laners as those are where my interest lie. If you really think you can improve things there is an opening for another volunteer to work the for...

First off, the fuses as originally wired have no connection with the ignition system. The ignition (if standard) is self generating, basically an electronic magneto. First thing I'd suggest is to disconnect the green wire that goes to the ignition switch. The engine is switched off by earthing this ...

There should be a grease nipple each side. If not in the centre of the swing arm pivot then on the swing arm itself feeding in from the outside. On the left it's usually moved inside because the exhaust pipe is in the way.

I'm out riding again next Thursday 10th August with a couple of mates. We're heading into the Derbyshire Peak District for a route I've done once before. It's around 76 miles start to finish, all do-able by Kanguro or Camel and taking in some of the areas finest scenery. I will be leading from a sec...

Great looking Camel! Hope your Italian adventure works out too. As for popping over here, why not? Sometime soon we will be arranging another Morini trail group ride and we'd be glad to host you. I have a good enough knowledge of my area, between Northamptonshire and the Derbyshire Peak district to ...

Well done Jenny! I wasn't so lucky with my bikes. maybe I should try to look/act/dress a bit less like Arthur Daley? Another Morini sold there as well-the really nicely restored Corsaro 125, for £4000 apparently. This time next year etc. Does anyone know if the black 500 sold too? I meant to ask how...

Hi all, as nothing has been posted here for a while I'll just mention that I'm out on the lanes this week. Thursday morning in East Leicestershire if you're interested. I'm planning to take the Camel for a gentle trundle through our favourite lanes and a couple of new ones (to me) as well. Currently...

Thanks Steve I will put an order in for a new H4 LEB bulb from Paul Goff plus an LED tail/stop bulb. Be aware of my experience with the rear ones. As they shine directly at the back of the reflector, I found that due to the nature of LEDs, I was getting little or no light off to the sides and preci...
