big john Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 (edited) I know side stands are unavailable at the moment, but doesn't Dave Renham do seats for 199B? Big John edited to add; Nice Sherpa, well done! Pity you used a Sammy brake pedal, the alloy originals look better (IMHO) Edited January 20, 2008 by Big John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pity you used a Sammy brake pedal, the alloy originals look better (IMHO) Think It's because they wanted the control pedals transposed to "Classic British" type layout. Just down to what you're used to i suppose? I agree with you BJ and have kept the alloy std r/h brake pedal on mine, doesnt seem to bother me swaping from l/h to r/h so perhaps i'm lucky, but wish i could stop the kickstart hitting the arm of the gear lever Nice resto BTW although the rivet counters will be on soon with "advice". tank, torque arms etc Just use it and enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bultaco did a near side brake pedal in alloy fitted to earlier models before the switch to right side braking (a US requirement), I have a couple here that I will use on my 199B's but as the Dabster bike has a special swinging arm (al la Comerfords) the standard pedal will not fit as it's too long. Fitting the brake to the nearside or leftside and shifter to right, gives a much more positive "feel" to the rear brake (right Snr. Greeves?) As for the tank that's the UK alloy version absolutely correct for a UK spec 199B as Comerfords had them made for the job, so's the bike could be used in the SSDT and UK road based trials. EEU and home Spanish versions had the plastic (and later fiberglass) tanks fitted. Big John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapshot 3 Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Does look nice would certainly agree with that. My old man had one for a while, i've still a few scars to prove it was too much of a beast for me back then. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big john Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 (edited) Hi big john ,yeah the miller pedals are rubbish,job to sort out another day .Are the side stands loads different on the 199a? . Yes indeed Hewson. The 199A has a different mounting, it goes inside the bracket on the swingarm, the 199B has a clevis mount which fits around the outside of the bracket on your bike, see catalogue shot attached! The 199B has a much more snaked appearance and the foot is a final "swage" of the tubing. Come on Legs..get some proper 199B side stands knocked up, I'll buy a couple off you!!!! Warning, the Bultaco shown is not fitted with the UK spec alloy fuel tank for the purists and rivet counters out there, but is fitted with the headlight mask and rear light!

nigel dabster Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 You need to "waste" the torque arm/ sprocket protecter for a better look. Swap the lever perches too else one day you will regret it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
