Front fork stanchions / front mudguard

Post by Rocker62 »

Hi all, due to a coming together of myself / Morini and immovable object I need some 35mm stanchions and front mudguard for my 81 500 Sport. Anyone got any to assist in a rapid return to the road ?

Hi Steve.

Sorry to hear of your mis-hap. :(

I have a steel front mudguard which I may be willing to part with. It is a little bit scruffy with some paint loss but fundamentally sound.

I bought it for my 3½ but I imagine the 500 ones are the same. If you want to check, the mudguard is 132mm wide where it bolts to the forks. The bolt holes are 9mm diameter and 53mm centre to centre.

I hope you didn't hit our Prime Minister. Joking aside, hope you are not damaged.

Glad to hear you are ok Steve. Depending how bent they may be able to be straightened. I had a frame straightened by motoliner and they did forks too. I think there are other specialists too.

Good luck, see you on Thursday.

Good. As we age, we don't bounce so well.
