Bultaco

hi all i have a headlight for my 199B but it dosant have the rubber straps to hold it on dose anybody know where i can buy 2 from? they have a square on 1 end wich gose throgth a hole.

My 199b runs great when first started but as time goes on performance degrades substantially. By the 3rd loop she is knocking and chattering as if running out of fuel. Let the bike sit for a while and the bike gets better. Carb is original rebuilt and is clean, new points and condenser last year. Any suggestions?

Hi I need a 199b manual…. Anyone got a pdf they could share? Thanks nick

Seem to remember somebody asking the other day about jetting for a VM28 Mikuni on a 199B but I cant find the post. I've got one fitted to one but runs like poo so just wondering if anybody knew a starting point for jetting the carb as it feels week. Don't have any spare Mikuni jets so will have to order and they aint cheap so just wondering what is the starting point on jets slide etc. Thanks

Hi all ,a few photos of my near finished 199b ,just need a nice seat & side stand (hint hint )

hello all ive just has mt 199B rebored with new piston 2nd 1 how should i run the new piston in? the bike is not back together yet as am waiting for other parts.

I am in the process of starting a rebuild of a genuine 199B and need some help in sourcing a couple of parts please. Firstly, any idea where I can get hold of a right hand side cast (forged?) alloy rear brake lever? They used to appear on eBay now and again, but not lately. Secondly, I am also after a curved, oval rear registration plate, the type that follows the contour of the mudguard. I know they are not original fit, but I fitted one to my bike when it was new. I'm blowed if I can find one on eBay or anywhere else for that matter, but a couple of years ago they were quite common. Thanks in advance for any help.

Moving at a snails pace due to time and parts availability but getting there. Thought rims were shot but they polished out, powder coated everything I could. had a new skid plate built, still learning a lot as not everything was as it should be.

Finally finished my 199b restoration. Not for the traditionalists but built to ride in 'modern' twinshock events.....

Started really easily so lets see what she handles like in a trial.

Hi all just refurbing a 340 sherpa and been removing a lot of brackets and mods that have been done to frame and swinger, the rear shocker lower mountings have been moved and are not the original, just single plates, has anyone got some measurements and pics of the correct style and position, appreciate any advice. Cheers

I just aquired a Bultaco Sherpa T 199B model thats in need of resto. I had to cut the swingarm pivot bolt off to remove the swingarm. Hammering away at the pivot did nothing except leave me with bent frame mouting tabs where the pivot runs through. Heat didn't work in helping the bolt come out. I would like to know how much play is between the swingarm bushing ends (the steel inserts) and the frame? Could anyone tell me the width between the frame from side to side at the swingarm pivot? If that is a problem, how about the width between the frame and the rear engine mount? Thanks

Does anyone know if some markets possibly got 199B's with top triple clamps without pinch bolts, IE: taper fit. I've seen some conflicting photos, some with pinch bolts and some without. Also some appear with amal carbs and others with bings? Was it possibly Bultaco throwing anything on them before they shut the door?

hi all my mate has just bought a 199B he ask me aquestion about the side decals. is there a decal with 340 on it for the side panals? i know bultaco uk do the 350 decals. am not sure if there was ever a 340 can anybody help? personaly id just put the 350 ones on whos gonner know.

hi guys dose anybody know where a can buy side decals with the 340 format rather than the 350 i have them on mine but a mate of mine whats some. photo off my 199B

Hi all when I have a bought this bike the side panels were held on with wiring grommets have now got the correct ones, silly question, which way do they fit seems they can go both ways🤔

hi all can anybody tell me what upgrade spark plug 2 use on a sherpa 199B 340? not sure whats in hat the moment. i know my 199A taks a NGK BP5ES. i was just wounlding if there was a upgrade plug to buy. i was looking at the NGK iridumi they look like a good plug but not sure wich one would suit. there is one for a bultaco 350 but thats all it tells you dosent say wich model. or what replacment number its for. or am i just beter staying with a normal NGK? sopose there alot cheaper to buy.

hello all my swing arm on my 199B has no bracket for the top chain sliper looks like its been taken off at some time in its life. there is thick rubber wrapt around the boss its doing the job but as started to rub throw. as anybody any ideas on how to replace it with out taking the swing arm off? hears a photo

hello guys ive took the swing Arm off to change the bushes. only to find the boss and bushes have been modified looks like the plastic outer bush as been turned down. looks like theres been a sleave welded in on the inside theres a lip for some reason i dont know. so the only thing i can think of doing is to buy the standard bushes.and have them turned down to fit.hears some photos any beter ideas would be greatful.

Hi all, I know there was some "discussion" about the aluminium head steady found on some later model 199Bs. Has anyone found any retailer selling these later types?

Im renovating my 199b (which I haven't ridden yet) and Im finding some slight anomalies. The piston has been fitted without the con-rod spacers - this means the rod is floating at the big end and little end (!). I can remedy this but I am confused when looking at the transfer ducst in the crank case - these do not match the barrel and look more like motocross ducts than what I 'd have expected on a trials engine. Se picture on the link below. https://www.flickr.com/photos/76022002@N08/14179459579/ Any ideas? Have I inherited some pursang cases? The flywheel is the large type and the primary chain is single row so everything else seems to be Sherpa. It has 6 gears. Any…
