Daviddewhurst Posted December 1, 2021 Report Share Posted December 1, 2021 I have an M85 frame from an Alpina and wonder how different, if at all, it is to the Sherpa of the same year. I have a Sherpa motor for the same year and would like to make into a complete Sherpa if the rake, trail and wheelbase are the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullylover Posted December 6, 2021 Report Share Posted December 6, 2021 I seem to remember the M80 and the M85 frames are the same. I think the only change was the triple clamps on the Alpina are different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lorenzo Posted December 8, 2021 Report Share Posted December 8, 2021 Alpina M85 was available 1971-74. Which of these years / what model is your Sherpa engine ? Factory parts book (later issue) for Sherpa 250 M80 lists M85 frame and also upper/lower yokes (triple clamps) as replacement parts ; I take this to mean they are mutually interchangeable, even if not actually identical. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
