This is showing, but I don't understand buying process as pictures seem to be advertised elsewhere. Whether it's an aggregated site I'm not sure.

Same seller but wildly different postage costs!

Like I said Nigel .... the Americans seem to think they are selling the Crown Jewels when it comes to those parts.
This sold earlier this year and on par with the DK one that sold recently. They also sold another about the same time and both sets looked in pretty decent nick to me.

Think I may have jumped too soon on this as the site now appears to be a scam. Looks like I'm cancelling a credit card now.
UPDATE. Just spoke to Natwest and this is a scam site based in HongKong. Credit card cancelled and payment stopped. I suckered myself into that, if it looks too good to be true it usually is a scam. First time in my life I have fallen for that. At least nothings lost. The site is KDNOORSE.COM please beware.

Never done a 450 but the 500T was also notorious for destroying the starter clutch and loosening the clutch on the rotor.
Have no experience of this but the 500 is so similar could it be modified---'if you can find a good one!!

The 500T alternator rotor is slightly different Bryan and I think the sprocket hub has a bearing in it. I do have a NOS 500T rotor I got for mine and I am long overdue to measure it up and compare with a Bomber one so I will do that over the next couple of days. You are dead right, you see 450's for sale, top dollar but often it's stated that the electric starter doesn't work.
I personally would wait until the likes of DK or BGM get another one in and buy the whole assembly. I have dealt with both and they take returns if you are not happy with no quibbling. Seems they sell them complete for less than a hundred quid, whilst the Amercans can often ask 200 quid just for one component that's not even NOS .
Update: here is the 500T Parts Book ... the sprocket hub does have a needle roller bearing in it but the bearing is not listed as a separate part. The other starter clutch parts are a mixture of 283 (K0) ,292 (K1) & 375 (500T) parts.
