Montesa used 35mm Marzocchi's in 77' and 78'. Used the 38mm Marzocchi's in 79', 80 and 81.

Saw plenty of bent front rims which had the green label. Seems to me the yellow and red Akront's were stronger.

The VB was a dealers "Mule". It was common practice in the states for a dealer to purchase a bike and remove parts to sell as needed. This bike came from California and is exactly what it is advertised as.

I would suggest not using ATF in the clutch. I have seen what it does and it's not pretty! Ruins the plates. Stick with what the factory recommends. 10/30wt motor oil.

I have tons of NOS spokes, but no oem nipples.

This is Kona. She was rescued from a local shelter. They had advertised her as a Shepard mix. I took one look at her and said, I don't think so... Looks like a Kelpie to me!
She came from a shelter in Safford, Arizona, which has a lot of cattle ranches, which kinda makes sense. She must be a Kelpie since she has  boundless energy! and is smart
as a whip.. A great dog. My daughter calls her the "Dingo princess"

Not really needed. But, I do spread a little hi heat silicone on the pipe end. It can't hurt!

I have a friend in New Zealand that is trying to get a VF 414 crank rebuilt. Shop he took it to has already ruined the new crankpin. Anyone know of a competent shop in NZ or Australia that can rebuild a Montesa crank? He is lucky they didn't mess up one of the crank halves! Yet...

I find it ironic, that in the day,you could not give away an 18M. The bike was too heavy, underpowered and had a 4 speed transmission. The Montesa dealer I worked at had two on the floor that sat for over a year until we slashed the price to $650.00 USD. Now they are collectable! Who knew.....

Problem is that motorcycles don't use 14-15 gauge spokes.

The cylinder to have is from the 1976 VA 250. Bigger exhaust port, (no bridge) much larger intake. Transmission ratio's were the same on all VR's.
