penno350 Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Can anyone advise if it's feasible to fit a right foot brake set-up to a 159 Sherpa? If so any recommendations for suppliers of the required parts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel dabster Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Try Bultaco uk 01784 440033 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterb Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Hi penno, The RHS cable operated brake never worked that well on the Bult, and the gear lever on the left was just plain awful, it hangs way too low. But, if you must have a LHS gear change and RHS brake then try as Nigel advises or Sammy Millers. Bye, PeterB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
htrdoug Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 You could run both the shifter and brake on the right,lots of Bultaco in the U.S. are like that,they're just ridin' 'round in circles though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G'day Nigel old chap, I apologise for considering you a Luddite, I think Troglodyte would have been fairer !! I am sure your question is just having a shot, but just in case you are serious, No it is not the same technology. Interestingly over in Victoria, Clake equipped riders took 4 of the top 7 spots in this seasons competition in C+. The top two in the Vets and second in juniors and sidecars. As for the level of trials over here check with Ben Hemmingway and the Ludgates they have ridden here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
