Anybody Have a Spare Stator Please?

Hi all, I urgently need a replacement stator for my 500, which is proving difficult to source. I understand that the stator from a 250 or 350 can also be used, with a wiring mod. I'd be grateful if anyone out there is able to help! Thanks for any feedback.

Replacement Rear Shocks

Hi all, has anyone replaced their rear shocks recently? I've spoken to Ikon UK, and they only list shocks for the 350, not the 500. They were unable to confirm whether or not the shocks are the same between the two models. I have seen a string on this forum about Ikon in Australia researching the po...

Re: Rear Brake Caliper Pistons

Hi Nick, thanks to your advice I have now spoken with Paul at Powerhouse, and they certainly appear to be knowledgeable and most cooperative. I'm sending them my caliper for inspection, and look forward to their guidance. This forum is most useful for this kind of help! Much appreciated.

Rear Brake Caliper Pistons

Looking through this forum, I had concluded that new rear caliper pistons seem to be unobtainable; Mdina also does not list them. More web research lead me to Gutsibits, whom many of you may know as suppliers of Moto Guzzi spares. They list a part BRA11000 which is a kit of 2 x Brembo Pistons, exact...

Re: Single Seat on 500?

Thanks Harry, please do you have any photos? I'd like to see what the seat looks like on your bike - have you kept the tail piece?

Single Seat on 500?

Has anyone ever fitted this '350 style' round-tail single seat (photo attached) to a 500? Obviously, you would need to remove the 500 tail piece. Mdina are advertising this type of seat with 'pin fitting' here: https://www.mdinaitalia.co.uk/M390109.html If anyone has done this, I'd be grateful for a...

Re: Grimeca hydraulics

I've just removed my Grimeca calipers- is it OK to split the calipers to aid rebuild? I recall reading somewhere that generally, splitting should be avoided, however it would very much simplify the task of getting the corroded pistons out, cleaning etc if I were to split them. Thanks for any guidance!

Replacing Veglia Clocks With Modern Replicas

Does anyone have any experience in replacing their speedo and tachometer with a new type replica GPS speedo and matching tacho? There are many advertised online, and some look 'period' correct (at a glance at least) for the Morini. Ideally, these would fit into the standard Morini mounts with rubber...

Re: Veglia speedo repair

Both my speedo and rev counter have badly faded dials. Does anyone know whether it is possible to source replacement dials, as part of the refurbishment process? I know that screen printed dials are available for certain classic car gauges.
