Found!! - Exhaust Collets for a 350 Sport

Post by bizzywizzy »

Hi everyone,

I need a pair of exhaust collets for my 1978 350 sport. Lost them when the castle nut worked itself completely loose on recent ride along the A3!

Grateful for any help in locating a new or used pair to get me back up and running, really need them quickly as I am due to ride her over on Saturday for new tyres, sprockets and chain.

Thanks,

Mike

With many thanks to George 350 I now have the collets and a fully functioning front exhaust! I now need help to source a pair of half rings that fit the "square" section flange to replace the ones George sent to me today. Any leads on finding replacements welcomed.

I managed to find new half rings in the USA. Herdan Corp. were really helpful through their ebay store. The listing came up with a crazy quote of over $70 for shipping, they are going to do it for under $10.

Excellent customer service and lots of parts availability.

Hi Mike, good to hear you have found the exhaust rings. I had heard of Herdan before but not looked them up. Would be interested to have a look at their store? What did you type in to find them I wonder?

Herdan was the original US Moto Morini importer.
Always worth a try especially for US-based owners.

Hi Graham,

You can find him here on Ebay https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/motoestore

Or much more stock on the website https://herdan.com/

Hope you are well Graham, PM me to let me know how your treatment has been going.
