    @TheGreaseMonkey The rains finally subsided... Centimetres, not inches

    Just what Terry said.... The mirror stems will be the "condom" version; the 00+ stalks look nicer'. Fit a small voltmeter, so you can see if the R/R starts acting up. And oh yes..... the nick name for the 5th gen is "Dumbo Ears" due to the front indicator "design". 😇 And lastly...... Red "NACA's" are the best.....

    Thanks. I have a lead on spare cilinders.. Failing that, in 2,5 weeks I'll be in Milan, Italy on a large mc fair. I know there'll be an Italian gentleman with parts..... In the mean time, my commuter is a Honda again... And after work I "put put" around on a wee 150cc 4-stroke. 1953 registration '40's engine design '30's suspension design....

    To borrow a phrase... "It is not the size of your tachometer that matters" Did you enjoy the rides honey?

    Welcome to VFRD from across the North Sea. Hook up a small/simple voltmeter and tuck it somewhere in sight. The actual reading is not relevant, it is to give you a heads up, if while riding, something is amiss. Like <11 or >15VDC. Once or twice a year if you ride a lot, inspect the coonectors in the string generator, regulalatr, strating solenoid. If you had a blue/2nd gen Tenere you probably know what engine overheating is. no such worries with a VFR 🙂

    I wholeheartedly concur...

    Go to a proper paintshop. There they scan one or more sections to grt a match. Did this with my 1975 MV to get the grey metallic as original as possible.

    My MV developped a quirk.... Ignition on, no clack from the electric fuel tab, no neutral light, no lights, no claxon. Engine starts and runs fine (with manual reserve tab). After some 10 minutes riding, lights, claxon works and the manual tab can be shut. Next time ignition on, same palaver. The culprit? The previous owner had soldered the end of the wire. Solder does not clamp very well (opposed to copper). So that was an easy fix. Great waistline! yeah the battery strap is way to long, so a bit of PVC to fill the gap 🙂 Blue tiewraps for a quick and dirty wire to my GPS... All in all a nice 300km day! https://molenhermien.harreveld.nl/

    Welcome to VFRD from across the pond. As long as it has 2 wjeels, I'm in! Not picky on brand here.... Would love a 750 Slabby....

    Yes, the kits are still available (through a classic Morini specialist in Germany). Yeah that rotor is indeed a strange one. It performs well enough though (top speed of the bike is some 130KMH). Some users have the chrome finish turned off for better perfromance But I won't bother.

    So it rains... So what?

    Prior owner eas either drunk or confused.... The 🦘 is all 6V, except the headlight. Fitting a 6V bulb will not have helped the corroded wiring/cabling... New bulb and connectors. AND THERE WAS LIGHT!!!

    Morini headlight plug did a Honda starter relay impersonation... 🙂 So made sure I got home before the dark.
