Post by teenybop1 »

It’s a long shot but does anyone have one for sale.Or is there an aftermarket one that will fit.Riding the morini straight after the speed triple was interesting ,,,,!!!!!!

I agree with that, the one on mine is for decoration only-oh and to pacify the rivet counters too of course. It had lost damping in one direction (explains their songs maybe?) so I drilled a tiny hole in it and drained the remaining fluid.
Your Morini will feel completely different to any modernish bike. You won't need to get anywhere near as physical with it.

I have always removed steering dampers from my other old bikes as I think they are a bodge device masking shimmying etc due to under inflated tyres, worn head bearings, worn shocks or worn swing arm bearings. The Morini should be a sweet handling light bike with very little in the way of what Americans call “body English” required.
Are any of the above possible on your bike?

No everything is good on the morini,,I think it’s because I jumped on the morini after the triple r,,ive no doubt I will get used to it when I start to use it during the two weeks of Scottish summer.
