Double drum front wheel on eBay. . .

Post by boris tarpit »

It is different to the one in my bike, it has shallow fins over most of the brake plate. Never seen one like it. . . .

It certainly doesn't look like a Morini drum, and it seems to say Benelli on it...

It's either a Series 2 Tornado 650, or a 500 Quatro front brake. The front brake on my seies 1 Tornado was identical to the early Sport. Later on Benelli paid extra for custom back plates.

I thought it would be a shame to sell a complete Sport in parts... so I mailed the guy. After some back and forth he decided to keep selling the parts and not to consider an offer on the complete puzzle (only missed the cockpit and side panel) as he thinks he will get more money that way. :evil:

Shame, another complete one scattered in bits all over the world :cry: Allthough when you see that the front brake is Benelli you might wonder how original it was...

seems like this is not a original Sport and just a collection of part to build a look alike... :| phew...
