Congratulations, and thank you for explaining how you fixed the issue.

Let's see whether you're overrun by visitors... If so I hope at least one will have the nouse to go shopping locally and bring in some extra supplies

A quick update. I took advantage of Ming's kind offer and enjoyed various local cheeses and wine with him and his wife last weekend. He's sold the K2 and the Strada to a local chap who was delighted to discover the Morinis. I rode the 250C which was lovely and far nicer overall than Ming described. ...

There's one up for auction, in July, https://www.handh.co.uk/auction/lot/lot-1982-moto-morini-500-sei-v/?lot=55810 with an estimate of £3k to £4k. Several have sold this year so there seem to be some about... Good luck. I've a couple of 501's including one in a 350 K1 frame, it's physically smaller ...

So nearly 2 years on, does anyone on this forum own one of the X-cape's yet? Now they're actually for sale I'd love to hear of owners' experiences.

Thanks Mark, does It matter which yellow wires are connected ? Also do you know which 12v battery fits the tray it's only 60mm wide? Regards Hugh The yellow wires are interchangable, the AC voltage is generated across any pair of them (I think you only have one pair). The rectifier in the regulator...

420? did you mean 520? and which of the bike models is it for?

Hugo,
I don't know exactly how to wire it in. Can you provide some details on the wires and their colours that come from the alternator and the wires and the colours on the regulator/rectifier you've obtained. These may help me and/or others to help you with working out the wiring connections.

Glad you had an excellent ride in Wales on your BMWs. I've also got an R80/7 project in the wings.

I might do the National Road Rally, I am doing the Round Britain Rally, albeit I've only visited one of the locations so far this year. I did both last year and even combined the two by visiting a RBR location while doing the NRR. I've no need to cover the maximum distances or waypoints, I'm happy d...

It sounds like your regulator isn't working correctly, which lead to excessive DC voltage toasting the various bulbs. I don't know if the headlight is powered by AC or DC on this model, nonetheless it sounds like it was similarly affected from your brief message. It should be doable to diagnose the ...

Mike,
How did the day and the ride go? Sadly I wasn't able to join you because of some changes in my schedule that meant I needed to drive by car to Whitby yesterday instead of coming on a Morini.
