    Hmm. Do I smell a bit of advertising?

    you know what before i used them i couldnt find much about them, just trying to help others who may be looking for new gear!  

  2. thanks for that, so am i correct in saying its not an M49 rear wheel then? It has got the ribs on it maybe not clear in picture. 

    Where did you get the front mudguard stays from on your m80? 

    cheers

    derek

  3. yes all good points and is a wip.

    Woody i have the correct wheel i think, but am short of a brake plate i will start a new thread as don't want to hijack this thread and see if you can id it. 

    thanks

    That's a small rear sprocket which will make the gearing very high, standard gearing is 11/46 on a 520 chain. It looks like a later wheel with conical type hub is fitted along with later forks and yokes. Shock top mounts have also been re-positioned slightly lower and forward and gussets added in front of them  (not criticism, just observation)

    You might want to consider re-routing the wiring out of the casing bottom and move it higher to the front as on later bikes as there is always a chance it could get crushed between the bashplate and engine and break with a hard hit on a rock (common on Ossa MAR)

    if there is a chance the wiring gets crushed under the bashplate i hope i am not on the bike at the time!

  5. My work in progress! Barrel is damaged but I have a spare waiting on a rebore after lockdown. Needs tidying but runs  and starts well with mikuni. frame number B4900444 engine number is higher but closer to your frame number, is it true they weren't matching at the time because of tax reasons?

    I'm in Australia and have a spare I would sell but freight to the UK would be expensive. It is the type shown in Vintagenut's photo but not as nice as that one.

    Beware, there are two types. The early M49s saddle/bridge/sidecovers didn't have the scallop for clearance of the top shock mount (because the shock mount location was further back)

    Thanks for the reply mines the early version but going to get that one and make do! its not for a show pony. 

    cheers
