I was blessed with our local Sherrif discovering ONE item of the things stolen from my shop last year.
Full Morris Mag setup for H1 or H2.
All the hardware and parts needed.
Including a rear disc brake setup with caliper and MC.
Requires a modified front wheel speedo drive which Dave was kind enough to modify for me. (Thanks again Tuner)

Now I know the Lesters are the "preferred" brand by most triple guys, but I am wondering what these might be worth?
In a bind for cash but I wont give them away.

Thanks for any replies in advance.

Not an expert by any means, but just to throw it out there, since this appears NOS (?) and is a rear disc option and very complete set-up, maybe $1200-$1500, possibly even more...? Again, just a quick quess.

And this is a bolt-on, 19" front, 18" rear? It might also help if you'd specifiy which rear axle diameter it takes - H1 or the larger H2?

No problem, my friend. If you need stuff like that done in the future, and, don't have a local machinist, send it.

Glad to hear you got that stuff back. Any idea who stole the stuff in the first place? And, what about the othr items not found as of yet, police got any ideas/leads??

I prefer these wheels, and any stock Kawasaki Morris knock off wheel, far before any Lester wheel.

I remember back in the day, the aluminum Morris wheel sets like yours were good for about $600.00, as yours sits, dual disk for the front, single disk rear (rear disk came with the package, along with either Hurst Airheart or Grimeca brake caliper/master for the rear, user disks for the front. The stock front disks had the rivits drilled out, and the disk plates bolted to the adapters), 19 front, 18 rear. I'd figure today, that package would be worth between $1,200.00 and $1,400.00.

Sure, did you want one of the button head screws or one of the hex head bolts?

Thanks Dave. The engines went to the scrapper and the thief got 19 bucks each for them.
He also got ONE NOS Proflow H2 pipe and 1 KH400 pipe.
That really pissed me off.
The metal crusher guy sweared they were already gone, but I swear he has/had them.
The dude went to jail and a stash of his just appeared in a barn.
So I got these back, along with some barn vermin additions.
I will take new pics after cleaning up the mess they made of it.
All still in a sealed box, except for one small hole in it that is.
At least there were no dead critters in there.

:banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead

Front rim reads 19-215
Rear rim reads 18-250


It states in the installation instructions to grind off and drive out the rotors rivets as you say.
I hope I can find that receiver for the speedo you machined. :roll:

Front rim reads 19-215
19 inch diameter, 2.150 inches wide (inner bead to inner bead)
Should fit a 3.50 to 4.00 inch wide tire

Rear rim reads 18-250
18 inch diameter, 2.500 inches wide (inner bead to inner bead)
Should fit a 4.00 to 4.750 inch wide tire

I sure hope you get as much back as you can, and that includes the engines as well.

If you need another speedo drive machined, send it, and, I'll get 'er done, and, back to you.

Search for "marvic morris wheels", or something similar:

http://www.fondseca.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=178

I'd like to know more about the Campagnolo wheels. I've been using their bicycle parts for 40 years. I knew they made race car wheels, but this is the first time I've seen their motorcycle wheels.
