feetupfun Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 Have you got a photo of what you are after? I'm a bit lost by the description Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metisse Posted July 31, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 Sorry no, when the bike was built I was told reverting to a left hand rear brake would work better, and to facilitate this the bike builder had an ugly steel after market one fitted. When back in his workshop recently I saw a nice alloy version , that I was told was avaliable from bultaco and fitted to models in the past or as an aftermarket part. Thats the one I am after or at a push I will get my friendly engineer to make one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel dabster Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 (edited) yes rocking horse pooh. I had an alloy one but not sure if it was left or right, will look. Only advantage is a rod can be fitted which gives a far superior brake using the standard hub. Ive changed to a yamaha hub so get rh rod.

lorenzo Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 Feetupfun - I was about to post "Like this one"........but you beat me to it .......... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watch this Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 I am lucky to have an alloy one on my 199 and have never seen another. As said above far superior brake on the left being a direct rod rather than a cable 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metisse Posted August 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 Well I am hoping that someone might have got fed up and converted to the more normal RHS and have one spare.... its not easy jumping from bike to bike and then forgetting which side the back brake is on...

watch this Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 Maybe I'm a little special? Ive never had an issue jumping from bike to bike, left or right gear shift, race pattern box or standard. Although I do have to admit to thinking for the first lap on my '68 TSS right hand shift and upside down, 1 up 4 down The most excitement for me comes from jumping from one of my modern bikes to an old bike and realising the brakes don't work! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lorenzo Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 (edited) 9 hours ago, gooey said: Hi, theres one on ebay now. If you mean item # 264418176169 on eBay UK, that's right side fitting, and steel........ What the OP wants is an alloy LEFT side lever :- like this one removed from my model 159, and shown here with an alloy right side lever of the type which would have been fitted to his 199A originally. I think most of these alloy levers were replaced from choice with aftermarket steel fabricated levers - seems metisse is going the other way !

gooey Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 no i meant #291764954115 which i have fitted on the left hand side of my 199a. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorenzo Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 gooey - Yes, you're quite correct - hadn't seen that one ! I tend to look no further than the UK site, otherwise it can get VERY expensive........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooey Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 Hi Lorenzo I know what you mean about the price but sometimes you can only find some Bultaco parts in Spain or USA ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metisse Posted August 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 The steel one shown a couple of posts above is the one I have fitted... don t like the look at all...... the alloy one is what I need .. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
