Montesa 349 Query

[moulder]

Hi,

I purchased a Montesa 349 in December which is my first twin shock/classic bike after riding modern Trials for 20 years. The bike is on a Q plate (UK) but States it's a 1982 model on the log book but I thought I'd pick some of your brains regarding a few queries.

1. Looking through this forum I'm pretty sure it's a 349 mk4 as it has a grey frame & red tank with the small rubber seat. The tag on the head stock states Montesa Honda 349. So am I correct? Or do you guys need more info?

2. I purchased a new front sprocket guard from InMotion Trials but it appears my bike is missing some fixings. The guard appears to be a push fit, where my bike is missing two of the three lugs that I believe it's meant to interface with. Could any of you post a pic of the area I'm interested in as I'm thinking of making up something in the workshop. A few ideas for inspiration.

Anyway thanks for your time reading this & I've ridden the bike a few times now. It runs lovely and I think a previous owner has spent a lot of time restoring it as it runs well and looks very good for a 33 year old bike.

Cheers

Tony

1.- You're right. It's a 349/4.

2.- I'm sorry, but I don't have the pic you're asking for.

Hi there,

The rubber front sprocket cover is held on three pegs. Two of the pegs are part of the steel chain guide which is a close fit around the front sprocket. If you send me a PM with an e-mail contact a picture can be forwarded.
