Darren ( cant remember his last name. Motomaniac knows him) from down your way has his swingarm, shock and frame. I have triples,seat,tank,plastics and had forks but swapped them. the motor was sold years ago. Motor was a Mugen and mounted in frame different. The standard motor had to made to fit the Mugen frame. Even footpegs were different. Visually the swingarm looks like the works ones and twin reservoir shock. Other than that it looked pretty stock.

No. Brent will be able to clear this one up. He has the '82 480 and a Mugen kitted '79 as well.

There were two bikes. The one that McMuffin has is not quite like the one described here.The other one is somewhere in Melb , but I never seen it.

Read your PM's! You didnt give back the spring retainer and circlip with the foxshox.

McMuffins bike (was mine) didnt have a whitepower shock but a trick Kayaba with an extra heavy spring and unbelievable heavy dampening stack( possible for the OZtitle  that year .Cutts won in the sand) also 2 eremote reservoirs.

I traded the forks so they could be used on the other bike you are referring to as one fork was broken by a trailbike hack and thrown away.

Hey Brad can you put up a pic of the forks that you got from Rob? when you get a chance. :)

That's an interesting read. It says it had a white power when Mcmuffins had a twin res. Showa.
the triples I have are similar to original. Not billet as they say. The bolts in the clamps are in the front on the Mugen and from the back in original. The bolts hit the tank on Msmuffins bike. The sidecovers have the number 7 on them.

I am very sure those forks with the blue top cap are a White Power aftermarket kit. i cant see them being anything other than that. the top cap with the air valve in the middle and the 2 flats on the sides definitely looks like a WP  kit but there may have been another brand that copied the WP kits?
