I've just been on Italian Ebay and there are several original Morini ones for sale, so you have an option.
I suppose it depends on exactly how Italian you want your Italian bike to be, at the end of the day.

An update as promised. As predicted by those who know the insurance world, I was offered my K1 back at a price but even ludicrously lower than I had anticipated. However, I still have no workshop, specialist tools or knowledge - BUT - I know a man who does. Paul has been my closest Morini ally in Au...

"Worth" is an interesting word. Viewed solely in a financial sense, maybe but maybe not. Absolutely anything I need to import will carry horrendous freight charges from many and varied global sources. So that's everything electrical. Then, there's the question - how about if one has neithe...

Things. Are. Moving. Very. Slowly.
I've been offered the bike back at a salvage cost ... but will I go there?

Watch this space...

Well, it's a new one on me.
I renewed all my carb internals around 5 years ago and have always set them the same.
Once warmed up, I've had a trustworthy tickover around 1,300rpm but of course, the needle says anywhere between 1,000 and 1,500 rpm.

Here be carb settings.

This was me ten years ago.
I did exactly that: had mine rebuilt, swapping to a pair of Hagons that I knew I could onsell.
There's a pleasure for me in keeping mine as Italian as possible.

Damn!

I'm in NZ and could usually get parts from the Aussie stockists. Try them, there are quite a few.

They immobilise the throttle as well and like all "anti-theft" devices, absolutely nothing works 100% if somebody wants to steal your bike. These are a good visual deterrent.

I really like the clamps that lock the front brake lever on.

Hi all, thanks for your good wishes, I've been diverted by a landmark birthday and not much action re my Morini. The update is that the workshop where it was being rebuilt post-floods that were pre-cyclone is now being rebuilt. Until the workshop is rebuilt, I can't ascertain what's the next step wi...

Interesting to read your post and remember back 17 years to when my motorcycling mind was 'readjusted' to things Moto Morini.

Lots of it I take for granted now but freely admit I was pretty thrown on a few points back then!

I've been to see the bike, it looks laughably untouched. However. The mechanic said the water went exactly 30cm up the walls in the workshop so I can be sure there's water sitting in the mufflers at this point. I was also advised to change the wheel bearings, to be safe, which is a shame as they're ...

Thanks for the good wishes, everyone. The bike was completely intact, apart from having some of the newly resprayed parts removed - tank, front mudguard. The engine was oil-tight and working well. There's no way I can get there to dry it, it's in a flooded workshop along with all the other customer ...

Oh dear. I have just learnt that my 1983 K1 has suffered "slight submergence" while being refurbished after a light accident. I'm told the water went "just higher than the mufflers" but I know no more at this point. I'm making a claim and may be offered it as a buy-back. Can anyo...
