I think if you drag the net it's up for sale for over 20k euros, so it could be yours

Hi Julian, thanks I'll msg them tomorrow. And yes we met at the shiny bike night in Cadsden, I was on my Morini 500 sport.

On the basis that the worst case scenario would be that I'd get some new stanchions, a set of rear sets, a strada top yoke, some refurbished wheels and a stack of spares I stumped up £1k for this nice little project on ebay recently. Current plan is to get the engine either given its last rights or ...

Bought a dismantled bike recently & appear to be missing the spacer between the bearings on the front wheel, someone must have one knocking around. Thanks

Edit:- 500 twin disc & 350 single disc wire or cast wheels all have the same part number and should be 17mm id 25mm od x 61mm long

Pictures sent via your email.

I have one in the garage loft - I fitted a mass Moto low slung system in its place, saves loads of weight and sounds great for the right money I could be persuaded to part with the original. Also have sump guard & headlight mesh if you are after the full scrambler look.

Late to the game but I was given an Abba stand the other day & fathomed out that the 22mm & 24mm sockets I have fit loosely into the adaptor cups and work perfectly on my Scrambler without any adaptors being necessary.

Well finally got round to fixing it & now back up on the road, many thanks. All ready for a run up Kophill on 20th Sept

Italian bike day at Sammy Miller's motorcycle museum.

Well I went for it & pretty happy, little bit noisier than I would have liked & the footrest bracket was no good but otherwise a great & easy fit. A whole lot of weight saved & ridding myself of the high level exhausts is a proper bonus, just need to get it up to Dave Woods Racing in...

I think this may be of interest: https://www.mdinaitalia.co.uk/SKU040029020.html Thanks, if all else fails I have some other parts I was planning to order from them in the autumn when I refurb the forks. Does key 3mm wide x 5 mm high x6.5 long sound right? Thanks I'll check, off to an engineering p...

Thanks Morini Jen - will see what I can sort out, seems to think the club may have tools to borrow?

There are some advertised on eBay as rear but looks like front to me, nos unpainted £150

@ Steve Brown - thanks for the advice re the taper & I'll take a butchers at the manual to see if it makes sense to me.

Well it looks like my roadside failure was as a result of the rotor coming loose & sheering off the woodruff(?) key, so a few questions:- 1. what size key do I need to refit? 2. Do I need special tool whilst torquing up? 3. What is the torque setting? Thanks & looking forward to getting back...
