I thought about the warranty thing also,but I thought the numbers would be farther apart.I,m in the USA so maybe that has something to do with it? My numbers are in the 11,000 range ending with A. Is there any way to tell if it,s a 1979 or 1980?

Hi Doug, I,m in North central IL near Dekalb.

Thanks Woody.After I posted this topic I found an interview with Ignacio Bulto somewhere on the web.As I,ve read before, 1979-80 didn,t sound very good at the factory so I,m guessing that it came that way.

Just curious about the frame and engine numbers on my 199a.They are the same except the last two numbers.The last to on the frame are 35 while on the motor they are 40.I just wonder if being so close could it have come from the factory that way?

I just came in from a little more work on the fitting of the air box.It mounts up pretty good with the exception of the bottom fender bracket that will have to be bent up.The only real problem I see so far,other than possibly what pschauber was explaining,is that it wont be real water proof.That may not be too big of a problem as the trials around here don,t really have many, if any water sections and I have two other bikes I could ride if it was a rain day. I also have to admit that it bugs me a little that it,s some what cobbled and not a stock set up.Thanks again to all for the replies. P.S. I don,t know if it,s ok to mention the publications name,but I picked up a magazine yesterday with a spread on Vesty and Saunders Buls.Pretty neat article!

Thank you both for the input.I guess for now it,s my only option so we will see how it works.

Hi all, I just joined the site for the wealth of information and just the general fun of reading about all the happenings in the trials world. My main interest are in the vintage end of trials mx and enduro. I have a TY250,1970 Ossa trials,1974 pursang and a newly aquired 199a Sherpa t. I had a model 92 sherpa t that I should,ve kept,but I have wanted a late model sherpa ever since my friend bought a new 198b back in the day. Cheers, Scott

Hi all, I,m new to the site and this is my first post.I just picked up a 199A.The air box isn,t stock or really any good.I have re-engineered an old style model 92 ai box to fit.It,s pretty small compared to a stock one and I,m wondering if it will affect performance or jetting? I will probably by a new one when I can afford it as all my mad money went into getting the bike. Thanks in advance and man,what a great site!
