Moto Morini 3 1/2 Strada 1978

Post by Tom »

SOLD, a 1978 model Strada, it should have had the grey cast wheels but i built it with spoked wheels, just because i like the look of it. It has the classic look but with the E-start.

-New paint on the tank and sidepanels, new pinstriping
-some parts newly chromed
-mudquards and engine covers polished.
-new seat
-new battery (thinking of buying a litium ion battery for better starting power, this 19 Amp. one is to small)
-electric start checked, cleaned and put in new molycoat.
-frame, stearing head/yokes etc. powdercoated
-new sprockets and o-ring chain
-Marzocchi shock absorbers rebuilt
-electrics overhault
-engine checked, cleaned and rebuilt with new SKF bearings, bigend bearings, sealings, bolts etc.
-dell orto's cleaned and rebuilt with some new parts.
-new Dunlop front tire and wheel bearings.
-Grimeca brake caliper and master cilinder overhault with new 0-rings from Alex Luzzi, new stahlflex brake hose.
-Fitting a new chrome ring on the Veglia tachometer is on the to do list.
-etc.

Everything works, it is the nicest running 3 1/2 i have ever had! Start first kick and pulls like a little train so to speak.

I am putting it for sale because i just bought a new 500 Camel (2nd Series), and i already have more then 1 Moto Morini! And you know how it works, of course i will be needing the space and money for a new Morini project!

That's a fine looking machine, Tom. Does you proud methinks. I am tempted but...the usual several projects on the go at once
Cheers
