February 19, 201115 yr Author Looks really good Lee. Would you like any help with the testing It is a std 300 cover. It will fit straight onto a 240 motor in a 240 frame also. The mounts are the same, its just 12mm wider. With that kind of tool cost, I wont make a 240 tool as the 300s will fit.
February 19, 201115 yr Author Very very nice. Perhaps theres scope here for Bultaco ones etc ??? It may be worth a try. I have a guy over here who is interesteed so we will find out. Problem isn they are not cheap to produce so would not be cheap to sell. It would need to sell at over 100 quid and for that money, people just use ebay. L
February 19, 201115 yr When i put a 300 cover on my 240 there was a gap in front of the lowest bolt. This is the item number for cover, i sold it 320638574531 .

February 19, 201115 yr are you sure you dont have a 241 motor? The case has fm450 212cc stamped into the flywheels side on the flat bit.
February 19, 201115 yr Just so that i understand the reason behind the 300 mag cover fitting a 240 is because the newer Ducati ignition system off say a 1989 243 can be used on a 240. The flywheel and weight from a 243 (212 cc engine) will be to large to fit inside the 300 magneto cover I think? So, Lee are suppling only the cover, or are you suppling the flywheel machined by a return post if the customer sends a flywheel? If i'm completely wrong my apologises Lee. For those riding Exmoor, see you there i'm riding 'Star Route' and this year i'm looking to loose a few less marks than i did a couple of years back. These Fantic's are becoming quite trick pieces of kit another upgrade to mine is coming only to show it off at Exmoor.....although this doesn't mean it would ever work as half as good as your stuff Lee.

February 23, 201115 yr Lee, from your comment above about having a 241 motor - will a 240 cover fit on any of the later crankcases or is the hole spacing different. I know the later flywheels are bigger (but I have a plan for that).
February 23, 201115 yr I stand corrected, i just got a case today, when it turned up it was from a 300 (I was gutted) i popped it on and there was no gap. Very strange indeed as the case is identical but has not got the bulge the old one had. Im now filled with new hope, and cant wait to hear the results of your testing, fingers crossed there positive.
