Back in March I went to the Scottish bike show, I usually avoid these glorified jumble sales but the Moto Morini owners club had a stand and I wanted a look.
It was good to have a look at another 350 and best of all I discovered that the panel badges were available from them at a very modest price, I was also going to get tank badges but only had a small amount of cash in my pocket, at least I know they are available and where to get them rather than the chancer on ebay who sells them at four times this price despite getting them from the same source.
Usefully they also had the little rubber bungs that secure the side panels so got some of those too.


I may try and visit North Leicester Motorcycle next week,who are the main suppliers of Morini bits in the UK.

On my list are a few small but awkward to source parts like the centrestand bolt and spacers.
Also I've discovered I need new half rings as, oddly, after comparing the shiney new castle nuts I've found they are the same as only one of the old ones, the really tight one on the front that caused me all the problems is bigger- a different colour and taller than the rear one and its internal diameter is bigger.
Probably another bodge by a previous owner. Fortunately the new nuts seem to fit securely into the exhaust ports so at least that hasn't been damaged.
