Hi and welcome, sorry i can't help you with parts but hopefully someone will come along soon, the Benelli Motobi club is worth looking at and its only 20odd quid per year. ron d

 

Thanks Ron - already a member and have had great support from the guys there in getting the first bike sorted. You are right £20 is good value.

 

I now know why the head and barrel vanished!

Like all things engineering - there is a logical explanation - yes the piston was still there but the crown was pebble dashed and a lump was missing from the skirt - engine rebuild and a piston assembly now needed.

Anyone know any one willing and recommendable to do the re-plating of the exhausts and mufflers in the north?

Lost Keys

Thought I would give an up date - the bike was bought without ignition keys and a search of this site gave me the name of Basildon Locksmiths www.basildonlocks.co.uk

I turned up with lock in hand yesterday and walked out 15 minutes later with 2 keys and loads of information from a guy that clearly loves his job and provided a great service!
