- Borrani alloy rims, no more chromed steel type
- new front fork (afaik Ceriani)
- shallow headlamp shell (chromed) instead of longish (black varnish)
- diffent side panels and air filter
- late models have a stronger conrod and crank pin bearing, some (450only?) have plastic idler gear between crankshaft and points shaft, DUCATI or Motoplat brand electronic CD ignition
- different muffler
cheers Hans
i just kept it simple . forks are Marzocchi for sure . only the yellow desmo with disc brakes had a Ceriani fork
the type 2 front fender is a differand type to with chrome fender stays . top tripple clamp lost the ridge on the inside so you could slide the forktubes into the top clamp . type 1 you had to remove the top forknut to get the tube out of the top clanp .
seat has a diff pattern to
the plastic idler oilpump gear is a mototrans thing .
very late in about 74 /75 when production off the singles stopped Mototrans engines where put in Italian bikes .
the blue and gold mark3 for sure and maybe some scramblers to . that is how some bikes landed up with the plastic oilpump gear
