If that exhaust mount is not available, it looks like a commom Yammie one, they've used it since MXB yamahas and I think its still current.

Nice work, do I spy a sherco trials bike hiding in there as well?  ;)
Hi Tony it is a mont 315  ;) I did have a 349 which I rebuilt but I had to get rid of a toy to fit the 414 in the garage  :( I need a double garage lol

Top job Simon ;). I have one as well (I did have three up untill last year ::)). These things are pretty rare and it's good to see you bringing one back from the edge. One of the nicest bikes to fly through the air on :).
Thanks for that mate  :) Glad to know i,m doing a good job on the old girl  :)

How do you get the black paint on the engine so good, are they spray with heat resistance paint and then baked in the oven.

Thank you for the positive remarks on my paint job  :) Believe it or not I just used PJ1 engine paint and sprayed the cases under a heat lamp in my garage  ;)

Before I take my hubs to be powdercoated this week, can anyone tell me if they're meant to be matt or gloss - I'm unable to tell from the current state of my hubs which it is?
Thanks
