tomtom385 Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 have had this in the shed for 20 odd years. i know that it is a M92 engine, and i think that it is a model 159 frame, the swing arm has been beefed up/modified. i have been told that the tank is a commerford aftermarket tank. Can anyone confirm my thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boghopper350 Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Bitsa... It looks better than my bikes!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Looks as though someone has moved wheels, forks, engine from M92 and fitted into M159/182/191 chassis - is number not on headstock? Tank isn't a Commerfords as wrong shape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbhbul Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Quite a modified swing arm, shock mounts forward, kickstand fitting gone, Pursang snails, reinforced, modern foot rests, curious to nbr. on headstock. Will make a fine ride. Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc2 Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Looks to me like a Pursang swingarm. And something diff about the pivot point in frame. Is it moved forward slightly?? Swingarm looks too long for trials, giving loong wheelbase.& diff weight distribution. Have you measured its wheelbase? About 54" ?? Perhaps built more as an Alpina-type bike. On second look, is the engine moved back in the frame? (rather than swingarm pivot moved forward?) Engine appears a long way back from front downtube & swingarm pivot looks hard up against rear of engine case. Rear wheel also looks a long way back from SherpaT position.

tomtom385 Posted February 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 I thought it had a pursang look about the swing arm, foot pegs are my addition, as are the shocks which are a little longer than standard. no number on the head stock. it has a great engine only had an hours running since a top end rebuild some 20 odd years ago. think i will put it together, "as is" have got all the bits, and give it a go. have seen a tank like this on a bike advertised on the inmotion site a couple of years ago. its very well made, dont think it has ever seen a tree stump or knee.

nigel dabster Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Reckon thats a 49 50 cadillac, or rather a comerfords version, "i took one piece at a time" type bike? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
