smelling123 Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 Finally finished my 199b restoration. Not for the traditionalists but built to ride in 'modern' twinshock events..... Hope you like it... https://www.flickr.com/photos/76022002@N08/15858619162/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/76022002@N08/15833432376/in/photostream/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/76022002@N08/15859245115/in/photostream/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/76022002@N08/15671718848/in/photostream/ Lots of alloy and titanium, 9Kg lighter than my standard 198a so quite happy. Started really easily so lets see what she handles like in a trial. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smelling123 Posted November 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 love the front pipe did you do that? what are the fork tops? Yes Nigel, made from stainless bends.

iconic558 Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 (edited) Beautiful looking Bultaco, thanks for posting that. ...9kg is a LOT of weight to loose...20lbs for the imperial generation like myself I have to ask how and where did you manage such a large drop?

smelling123 Posted November 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 Beautiful looking Bultaco, thanks for posting that. ...9kg is a LOT of weight to loose...20lbs for the imperial generation like myself I have to ask how and where did you manage such a large drop? Thanks iconic558. Its still a fair bit heavier than Vestys x-lite... On the diet - lots of little things that all added up:- Titanium front wheel and swingarm spindles, alloy rear spindle. Alloy Rockshocks 250 clutch-side flywheel lots of titanium fasteners (including engine bolts) alloy torque arms, brake and clutch arms 1.6Kg lighter exhaust Alloy footrests Alloy kickstart Next step is a Comerfords replica swig-arm as the originals are really heavy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cleanorbust Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 Lovely bike. So lovely that given the nature of recent posts a well known contributor to this site will probably be on here in a minute to say you shouldn't advertise your home address in the photos...
