Started this a year ago, I had Zeds in the past before buying more modern stuff - always hankered after another then saw this one on ebay not a million miles away.
It started off as a tidy-up, then I rebuilt another bike and as I'm having fun on that I decided to take my time.
I'm not really interested in getting the bike totally original, I want it to look that way but don't wee why stainless bolts/screws aren't an improvement, or better brakes when I can afford them!
This is how it started, K&N's, Harris...
Tired paint, leaking carbs but quiet engine, low mileage. I hope the photos load up OK after all this!

Cheers for the comments chaps!
Morini is great fun, was a seized red and gold thing when I got it - easiest bike to work on - always gets comments when out and about.

That's looking really good, the rivett counters won't like the stainless steel & powdercoating............ But that's their problem, I love it
