So, I've been working on the 850 project bike. It turns out that what I have is basically a 750 rolling chassis with a 1974 850 engine and a Mk3 front wheel (as evidenced by a circlip instead of a threaded retainer ring on the non-disk side).
I'm not familiar with the Mk3 parts, so this raises some questions:
Will this wheel work with my pre-Mk3 front end, or will there be alignment issues due to the wheel being flipped around backwards?
If it will work, what exactly do I need for spacers and seals outboard of the bearings? I bought it as a parts bike and most of the spacers were missing (it was just loosely assembled for sale). I don't have a Mk3 parts book and I'm having a hard time figuring out what parts are supposed to go on each side.
thanks,
Debby
