bondy Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 hello could any body clear my thoughts did the 199B fork legs all have the notch cut out on the L/H side on the inside leg? or did some leave the factory with std legs like the ones off the 199A? i know some had the beta legs with no pinch bolts on 1 side also the 199b only takes 1 seal per leg correct me if am wrong cheers bondy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nigel dabster Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 italjet have pinch bolts only one side maybe the betor forks were made for them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullylover Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 All the 199 B`s I have seen all have no cutaway for the hub to miss the fork leg, the same as the 199 A`s. It will also help your axle clamp if you line the slot or cut in the spacer up with the slot in the fork leg. All of the Bultaco off road bikes (that I have seen) came with two fork seals in each side. Use seals off a KTM SX 65 2002 to 2009. With these seals you only need one a side. The last Sherpa`s used what ever parts they could find so they might have had any Betor legs on them. I think the SWM`s with Betor forks only had pinch bolts on one side too.

Ive definately had one (198B) which only had the one seal per leg. I have had 198Bs with no split or pinch bolt - I wonder if this was more about them being not finished them rather than by design. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lbhbul Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Bondy, I just woke up that there was a new thread! Only my opinion and as such take it from there. If you really want to kill the nice smooth, soft, front end be sure to put 4 seals in. Should you like them to work properly use 1 seal per slider 35x47x10 ish as Graham noted and be sure the caps are breathing (both out & in) Usually the cut in the side of the LH slider is a radius (hub rub) .

bondy Posted April 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Hi Larry the later 199B legs i have only take 1 seal per leg i have found a modern seal that will fit without any milling cheers bondy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
