Bultaco

Its been a while since i've been on this forum but after several other projects i've finally dug out my '77 191 Sherpa so i can finish it ( and use it!). It was in bits when i got it,including the wheels.I've just got the hubs back from Mike Danby who's done a great job re-lining them,got spoke sets from Inmotion so i'm ready to have a go at building the wheels up.I have got the parts list which shows the spoke pattern but information on the offset is thin on the ground.What i could find online was for a 199A and was Front brake side 15mm , non-brake side 32mm and Rear brake side 40mm , non-brake side 35mm. Just checking them earlier today it seems the rear could be …

I think it's sherpa pre 70 but not 100% any ideas? 140mm dia at brake drum I am looking for a brake plate if anybody has one Thanks

Hi all, Unfortunately, when I bought my Sherpa 199A the previous owner had chopped out the spokes from the front wheel, I think he was planning on rebuilding it. If anyone has their wheel out of the bike could they measure the offset for me from the face of the brake drum to the outside edge of the rim. Just for info, I had my rear wheel rebuilt by Sid's Wheels in Stafford, he did a great job, supplied & fitted stainless spokes for 85 quid. Regards Dave.

I am going to attempt the rebuilding of both wheels on my 199A with relined hubs and new stainless spokes. Can anyone help me with measurements for the offset to the rear wheel? I thought i had measured accurately but now not so sure.

hi all im thinking off having my rear wheell respock its got a buckel rim looks ok. and the chrom in the hub looks ok is it worth just having it relined as im having spocks done? allso would it be addviced to have new rim more money i know but will the rim be ok with the new stinles steel spocks?

Anyone know if the rear wheel spindle on a 250t is the same size (ie diameter) as a 350t ? Cheers

Hi Guys, I need to get my Sherpa 199A wheels respoked. Anybody any ideas of a wheel builder near Glasgow or central Scotland?. Thanks

Hi there, I have recently bought a 199A, and whilst cosmetically it is very good, mechanically it has some issues. This is my first Bultaco, so some help would be much appreciated. There seems to be some funny goings on relating to the wheels. They seem to both be offset in the forks/swingarm. Is this normal or something more sinister afoot? The rear wheel rubs the swing arm unless adjusted out quite drastically. I am wondering if the hubs are from a larger bike etc. I am hopefully attaching some photos that will show the issue I'm having. Your advice is much appreciated, Thanks

Hi I have been searching the North West for a while for a Pursang and only see ones what have been restored.I was hoping should not take long was i so wrong.You can pick up Sherpas but not Motocross.Seen them for sale in Europe on line cheaper than hear some of them.Can not even find a Pursang engine to buy unless ship from states.Dont surppose any sellers left what sell Pursang bikes or engines in the North.Just had surgery on both eyes so can not run about.Checked HH classic they have none did bid on a Pursang a mark 12 ages ago they said bid 50 quid as in bits i thought staff after it so bid 900 should have bid 1500 .Checked some other sites but need to be well off to …

Hi, I need a 12mm swinging arm spindle to complete my 1972 Bultaco Sherpa. Bultaco UK don't have any and don't know when they will make any? Alternativley, any one know someone who could turn down a 14mm spindle?

Hi people have joined recently to learn more about the bultaco range, does any body know where I could get a copy of the following book, Historia de la Sherpa T (The story) many thanks, Andy

Been raiding the photo albums, and thought this may be appreciated!! The young Italjetfan is about 6 months old. I actually tried to recreate the shot on a different Bulty when my daughter was the right age. only to find my Mum had thrown Dad's trials overalls away about a month earlier!!! Shame... Did the Bulty survive? All the best,

Embarrassingly I'm rebuilding my Sherpa 350t (159) after stripping it for a full overhaul and i cant for the life of me remember what this bracket is off ! Any ideas anyone ? Cheers

My Bultaco Sherpa 250cc Model 124 has the original fitment Amal 627 carb which is quite worn. The bike still continues to run ok with it, but I must assume that a better carb would improve things somewhat. The question is though what replacement carb would be most suitable, Amal Concentric Mk1 as now Amal Mk11 as used on the later Sherpa's which I think are stub fitting only Mikuni VM26 I think there is an OKO flat slide available Is there anything else that I am unaware of that may be better than the above, what have you tried and how did it work?

I have just bought a 1970 Matador 250 with the forks and yokes missing. Can anyone tell me what size of forks this model should have? and do forks from any other Bultaco models fit and if so will the Matador front wheel fit OK? Thanks, Jonny.

hello all am thinking of having one of my 199A powder coated in wite any idea witch ral code it is

Would anyone be kind enough to post some close up pictures of the swingarms fitted as an option to the 340s by comerfords please? It would be inetresting to know length (pivot point to wheel spindle centre) too. I am looking to make one for a ratty 198b I have in bits as a spring project. many thanks in anticipation Stu

I came across this pic on the web.It is a pretty sanitary looking bike and I,m curious who built it.I like the way they did the rear frame mods and how the tank blends into the side panels.

Looking to road register my sherpa when its finished. Csn anyone stear me in the right direction for a dating cert please? I already have a v55/5 form etc and have registered a few things before. Thanks in advance

Has anybody bought any modern wider alloy footrests that bolt straight on to an early sherpa (model 80 ) ? If not do they come with the pivot bracket ? Ive seen the older type but dont realy want chrome , at a push i could make up new hangers as on the model 80 they bolt on any suggestions appreciated thanks
