scot taco Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 That is a nice looking bike Greg.Did he build the airbox and silencer? Also,where did the swingarm come from? Thanks, Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherpa325 Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 The bike is a bitsa made up of parts that he had acquired/leftover from many bultaco restorations. The airbox and silencer were homemade, the frame is a 199, engine -199a, forks and triple clamps- early italjet, rims- early gold italjet.The swingarm came on a 199B that was imported to Australia from Hughs in the USA and looks to be purpose built for sherpas. The 199B was restored to original and an original swingarm was sourced and so the alloy one became surplus.If you have Bernie Schreibers book 'Observed Trials' he appears to be riding a Sherpa with the same swingarm in it on page 88.

lbhbul Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 BR , can you identify the #4 photo? Great photos BTW thanks!! Had this photo of my young friend , I believe the Texas National this spring. Looks mighty dry and slick, really need concentration and all the weight you can muster on the RH foot rest, plus good throttle control and a reliable steed at this point. The bike speaks for itself.

bultacorock Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Hello Ibhbul I have zoomed in and made it a bigger size so you can have a better look, looks like a BSA bantam engine to me. There are some really nicely set up bantams over here you should be able to find out more on the Pre 65 part of the forum All the best BR 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
