Nearing the end of a 198A restoration. Anyone know where I can source a replacement for the large alloy steering head cover (which the top yoke sits on)?
You need the missing collar but most riders will replace the drive unit with a short machined cylinder spacer. Dealer may have a kit to replace the drive unit or any machine shop will knock one out for you. Good luck.
Had quick look at Mont manual. You should have a collar/spacer on the outside of each wheel bearing, and a drive on right side for the speedo cable. If these are all in place my next move would be to have a look at another 315R to "spot the difference."
Not sure about spacers in Mont. With the front wheel off the ground, hold wheel firmly at 12.00 and 6.00 o'clock. Try to rock the wheel from side to side and check where the movement/knock is coming from. A missing spacer would allow the wheel to move along the axle (with the brake caliper removed), rather than rattle on the axle.
