1974 450 mainshaft

Post by ross somervell »

Hello! I am looking for a mainshaft for my 450 single. Has anybody got any ideas? Would it be possible to mend a cracked mainshaft with an insert?

Hi Ross

the mainshaft has a habit of breaking at the circlip groove that holds
second gear in place .

the good news is that al widecase mainshafts are the same 250 thru 450
exept a Condor shaft
