cyclist Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 Does anyone know if a 349 tank/seat will fit my 348 Montesa? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigshineybike Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 I wanted to do the same conversion to my 348, since I like the idea of the alloy tank safely fixed under the flimsey GRP cover. I was told by a bloke that had a set to sell that they dont fit since the frame is a different size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perce Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 The first 349's were certainly a different geometry from the 348, they had a longer swinging arm & the fork rake was different. I'd guess that the tank unit for the early 349 was the same as the the 348 one though only with the indented graphics changed. Not so convinced one from a white tanked or the later MH version would fit though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigshineybike Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Has anyone tried to cut up a fibreglass 348 tank with integral fuel tank so that it will fit over the later alloy fuel tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nh014 Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 I have a '81' white 349, two '78' 348's and a '77' 348. I can tell you with absolute certainty that the 348 and white 349 tanks are not interchangeable due to frame geometry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
